Objective
Prevalence and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) increase in women after menopause. This has been attributed to the loss of the cardio protective actions of oestrogen at menopause. Is flavones are naturally occurring plant derived no steroidal oestrogen mimics. Animal and preliminary clinical evidence suggest that is flavones could reduce risk of CVD. The objective of this project is to evaluate the potential health beneficial effects of soy isoflavone enhanced foods in a randomised controlled trial in postmenopausal women. A wide range of risk markers for CVD and new biomarkers for endothelial cell function will be measured. Genomic and polemic techniques will be applied to identify biomarkers of physiological response. Consumer perspectives on isoflavone-enhanced foods will be assessed.
