Effect of genistein therapy on plasma levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine in healthy postmenopausal women: a randomized, placebo-controlled study.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pure genistein therapy on asymmetric dimethylarginine in healthy postmenopausal women. Healthy postmenopausal women received pure genistein (n=21) or placebo (n=17) for 6 months, and no statistically significant effects on plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine levels were found with pure genistein treatment.
