Does soy protein isolate with isoflavones prevent estradiol-induced endometrial hyperplasia in postmenopausal women : a pilot trial?
In this pilot study, SPI with isoflavones did not protect the endometrium from E2-induced hyperplasia in postmenopausal women. If higher, long-term doses of isoflavone supplementation are found to be safe for postmenopausal women, then future studies combining E2 with isoflavones may be feasible as an alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapy.
Despite encouraging increases over time, the low absolute levels of receipt of medications shown to be efficacious in the long-term treatment of patients after an MI, and their variation by age and sex, suggest that substantial opportunities may exist to prevent recurrent AMIs through the increased use of aspirin, beta-blockers, and lipid-lowering medications.
