Animal studies show that high fat (HF) diet-induced gut microbiota contributes to the development of obesity. Oil composition of high-fat diet affects metabolic inflammation differently with deleterious effects by saturated fat. The aim of the present st
Studies suggest that soy has beneficial effects on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, as well, due to the influence of soy isoflavones on endogenous oestrogen. Isolated soya protein (ISP) was proven to reduce the severity of PMS symptoms within a seven-menstrual cycle, double-blind, placebo-...
