Meta-analyses find soy isoflavones prevent bone resorption, stimulate bone formation and increase bone mineral density in menopausal women

The results of two meta-analyses conducted by a team from Peking University in Beijing, China and the University of Yamanashi in Japan have determined that not only does supplementing with soy help inhibit bone resorption and increase bone formation, it also improves spinal bone mineral density.

For the first review, published in the February, 2008 issue of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Pei-Yu Wang and colleagues selected 9 randomized, controlled trials which tested high isoflavone isolated soy protein or isoflavone tablets in a total of 432 perimenopausal or postmenopausal women.

Urinary deoxypyridinoline, a marker of bone resorption, and serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), a bone formation marker, were measured before and after the treatment periods, which ranged from 4 to 48 weeks.

The second meta-analysis, published in the February, 2008 issue of the journal Clinical Nutrition, included 10 trials involving 608 peri- or postmenopausal subjects who ingested soy products or isoflavones for 3 months to 4 years. Spine bone mineral density was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry upon enrollment and at the end of the studies. Bone mineral content was determined in 6 of the trials. Continue Reading

Why stress is aging?

Readers of Life Extension Update may recall the November 29, 2004 issue which described an association between emotional stress and shortened telomeres, a marker of cellular aging. Now, in research published in the May, 2008 issue of Brain, Behavior and Immunity, a team at the University of California, Los Angeles report that they may have discovered why.

Telomeres are caps at the ends of chromosomes (the genetic material of the cell) that contribute to their stability. Each time a cell divides, telomeres lose length. Telomeres also lose length in response to chronic stress. Shortened telomeres in white blood cells known as lymphocytes have been associated with HIV, osteoporosis, heart disease and aging. An enzyme within the cell known as telomerase helps prevent telomere shortening and maintains the cells' ability to continue dividing.

For the current investigation, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine professor of pathology and laboratory medicine Rita Effros and colleagues studied lymphocytes from healthy male and female donors between the ages of 25 and 55. The cells were treated with varying concentrations of cortisol, the hormone released by the body when under stress, or with DMSO (as a control). Continue Reading
