Age-stratified serum levels of isoflavones and proportion of equol

Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health

In the study of "Age-stratified serum levels of isoflavones and proportion of equol producers in Japanese and Korean healthy men" by Fujimoto K, Tanaka M, Hirao Y, Nagata Y, Mori M, Miyanaga N, Akaza H, Kim WJ., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that In the Japanese study, the proportion of equol producers in the teenager group was 10%, being significantly the lowest among the age-stratified groups. The proportions of equol producers in the age-stratified groups from 10 to 49 years were also significantly lower than those in the fifties. The equol non-producers consumed significantly less amounts of isoflavones than the equol producers. In the Korean study, the proportions of equol producers were 45% in the teenager and 40% in the twenties and thirties, being significantly lower than in the forties (80%) and fifties (65%). The decreased intake of isoflavones, low serum level of equol and low incidence of equol production in the young generation may become potential risk factors for prostate cancer not only in Japan but also in Korea in the near future. Elucidating the mechanism of equol production may be promising in developing strategies for chemoprevention against prostate cancer.
