20120003337 | HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS CONTAINING PHYTO-OESTROGENS, ANALOGUES OR METABOLITES THEREOF - Compositions enriched with natural phyto-oestrogens or analogues thereof selected from Genistein, Daidzein, Formononetin and Biochanin A. These may be used as food additives, tablets or capsules for promoting health in cases of cancer, pre-menstrual syndrome, menopause or hypercholesterolaemia. | 01-05-2012 |
20120003178 | EVALUATING THE THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF A GLUCAN - Provided herein are methods for predicting the response of a subject to administration of a glucan prior to said administration, comprising in one embodiment: isolating at least one cell from the subject, wherein the cell is capable of being stimulated by the glucan; contacting the at least one cell with the glucan and incubating for a period of time and under suitable conditions sufficient to stimulate the cell(s) thereby inducing a change in the level of expression, activity and/or secretion of one or more biomarkers from the cell(s); and determining the level of expression and/or secretion of the at least biomarker, wherein the level of expression, activity and/or secretion is predictive of the response of the subject to administration of the glucan. | 01-05-2012 |
20110305782 | METHODS OF CHOLESTEROL REDUCTION USING ISOFLAVONES - This invention relates to natural products containing phyto-oestrogens, or phyto-oestrogen analogues, which have various beneficial physiological effects in man, and which have a variety of uses, such as to promote good health and as a dietary additive, for example. The invention describes a method of improving the health of a human by administering to the human a health supplementing amount of a phyto-oestrogen selected from genistein, daidzein formononentin and/or biochanin A. A health supplement comprising a health supplementary amount of a phyto-oestrogen selected from genisten daidzein formononentin and/or biochanin A, is also described. Preferably, the supplement also comprises at least one dietary suitable excipient, diluent, carrier or food, and may be in the form of a tablet or capsule, for example. Ideally, the phyto-oestrogen is extracted from red clover or from soya, although any source rich in isoflavones may also be used. The supplement can be used to prevent or ameliorate such conditions as breast cancer, benign breast disease, pre-menstrual syndrome, or symptoms associated with menopause in women, or various types of cancer, and especially for high blood cholesterol levels in all humans, for instance. | 12-15-2011 |
