Estrogenic activity of fermented soymilk extracts and soy compounds
2023 Dec Applied Food Research Nishi K, Imamura I, Takemoto T, Iga K, Kiyama R
The study demonstrates the estrogenic activity of soymilk extracts and soy compounds, with greater activity observed after fermentation, highlighting complex mechanisms at the transcription level. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed up-regulation of genes related to cell division/cell cycle and DNA replication/DNA repair and down-regulation of genes associated with autophagy, suggesting enhanced cell proliferation. The estrogenic activity of soymilk extracts and soy flavonoids, especially after fermentation, offers potential pharmacological benefits, including bone protection, cancer chemoprevention, neuroprotection, and the treatment of menopausal syndromes.

The study found that oat, macadamia, rice, and soy milk compare favorably with dairy milk in terms of kidney stone risk factors, while almond and cashew milk have more potential stone risk factors. Coconut milk may be a favorable substitute for patients with chronic kidney disease based on low potassium, sodium, and oxalate.

Animal Study Menopause Ovarian Function
In this study, non-fermented soy beverage (SB) and soy beverage fermented with Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum INIA P815 (FSB) were tested on both cyclic and acyclic C57BL/6J aged female mice which mimic premenopause and menopause conditions respectively. Over a period of 36 days, the beverages were given to the mice and the variables measured included body weight, lipid and inflammatory profile and fertility. In addition, hepatic gene expressions were examined and the faecal microbiota composition was assessed to further understand the effects of the two beverages.
In the results, FSB displayed a higher concentration of the aglycones daidzein and genistein as well as increased antioxidant activity due to the fermentation process. The cyclic mice that were given FSB experienced a significant rise in the number of oocytes and zygotes retrieved. It was also noticed that the triglycerides were lower in the groups that were given FSB compared to the SB groups. However, it was found that neither of the treatments significantly influenced the inflammatory profile or caused a major shift in intestinal microbiota or hepatic gene expressions in either of the groups. Still, it was observed that FSB had more health benefits than SB with regards to the lipid profile and fertility in the cyclic mice, likely due to the increased bioavailability and bioactivity of compounds due to fermentation.

Clinical Study Menopause Osteoporosis Probiotic
The researchers conducted a 90-day pre-post quasi-experimental study with control design on 54 postmenopausal women who were divided into three groups. The first group consumed regular soymilk, the second group consumed soymilk-honey fermented with a specific sub species of probiotics, and the third group consumed soymilk-honey fermented with a different type of probiotics. Each participant consumed 100 mL of their respective drink per day for 90 days. Measurements of blood serum osteocalcin were taken at the start and end of the study, alongside assessments of each participant's overall health status, including total cholesterol, blood glucose, and uric acid levels.
In terms of results, it was observed that the group consuming the soymilk-honey fermented with the particular probiotic showed a significant decrease in their osteocalcin levels after the 90-day period. This indicates that this specific fermented soymilk-honey beverage might have a positive impact on bone health in postmenopausal women.
