Product Data:
Biological target: Glycitein is a soybean (yellow cultivar) isoflavonoid; used in combination with other isoflavonoids such as genistein and daidzein to study apoptosis and anti-oxidation processes.
In vitro activity: The apoptotic SK-N-SH cell per-centage was 21% relative at 100 nM dosage of rotenone. Glycitein at 5 μM treatment reduced the rotenone-induced apoptosis to 13%. At 10 μM dosage of the glycitein, the apoptosis decreased to 5.7% (Fig. 6A). The western blot analysis showed that glycitein treatment caused a decrease in a rotenone triggered upregulation of Bax and caspase-3 expression (Fig. 6B). Reference: Acta Biochim Pol. 2022 Jun 12;69(2):447-452. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35691030/
In vivo activity: Figure 2A demonstrates that the levels of ROS in the C. elegans CL2006 fed with glycitein for 36 h were reduced (control 100 ± 23%, glycitein 68.9 ± 7 %, n = 3, p = 0.05). These results suggest the decreased Aβ toxicity by glycitein might be, in part, a consequence of its antioxidative action.
