S-Equol is a metabolite of daidzein, a type of soy isoflavone, and three reductases are
involved in the conversion of daidzein by specific intestinal bacteria. S-Equol is thought to …

(S)-equol (EQ) is an isoflavone with high estrogen-like activity in the human body, and is
only produced by some gut bacteria in vivo. It plays an important role in maintaining …

ABSTRACT (S)-Equol, a gut bacterial isoflavone derivative, has drawn great attention
because of its potent use for relieving female postmenopausal symptoms and preventing …

Equol is a metabolite produced from daidzein by enteric microflora, and it has attracted a
great deal of attention because of its protective or ameliorative ability against several sex …

Daidzein (DZN) is converted to equol (EQL) by intestinal bacteria. We previously reported
that Eggerthella sp. YY7918, which is found in human feces, is an EQL-producing bacterium …

Equol is metabolized from daidzein, a soy isoflavone, by the gut microflora. In this study, we
identified a novel dihydrodaidzein racemase (l-DDRC) that is involved in equol biosynthesis …

With its estrogenic activity,(S)-equol plays an important role in maintaining host health and
preventing estrogen-related diseases. Exclusive production occurs through the …

Isoflavone daidzein is a phytoestrogen widely distributed in Leguminosae and is especially
rich in the soybean. The C6-C3 (rings B and C) unit of isoflavones is derived from the …

Equols are isoflavandiols formed by reduction of soy isoflavones such as daidzein and
genistein by gut microorganisms. These phytoestrogens are of interest for their various …

Soy isoflavone metabolites are currently receiving much attention due to the stronger and
wider bioactivities than that of isoflavones. Therefore, biosynthesis of isoflavone metabolites …
