title: Effect of various isoflavones on lipid levels in triton-treated rats.
abstract: The isoflavone content of some commonly used legumes was determined. In Triton-WR1339-induced hyperlipidemia in male albino rats, biochanin A, formononetin and pratensein showed hypolipidemic activity, while diadzein did not, when these isoflavones were administered as individual compounds by gastric intubation.
