In postmenopausal women that had type 2 diabetes, daily supplementation with 30 grams of soy protein containing 132 mg of isoflavones (phytoestrogens) favorably altered their insulin resistance, blood glucose control, and serum lipids, and hence improved their cardiovascular risk profile. After 3 months of using the isoflavone-rich soy protein, the mean values for fasting insulin had dropped 8%, insulin resistance was 6.5% lower, and LDL cholesterol dropped 7%. No significant change occurred in HDL cholesterol or triglycerides. |
