Comparative Study of Concentration of Isoflavones and Lignans in Plasma and Prostatic Tissues of Normal Control and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Abstract

Isoflavones, but not lignans, have some influence the benign prostatic growth, and the prostatic concentration of genistein possibly has the closest association among them. More studies to further clarify the roles and mechanisms of isoflavone action on BPH including pharmacokinetic studies are recommended.
