Dietary Genistein Prevents Denervation-Induced Muscle Atrophy in Male Rodents via Effects on Estrogen Receptor-.

Genistein is one of the flabonoids which is included in high concentration in soy and has a high estrogenic activity. Beneficial effects of estrogen or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on muscle mass or muscle atrophy have been demonstrated. We investigated the preventive effects and underlying mechanisms of genistein intake on denervation-induced muscle atrophy.
