1 An overview of the health effects of isoflavones with an emphasis on prostate cancer risk and prostate-specific antigen levels. Isoflavones kallikrein related peptidase 3 Homo sapiens
2 Eleven trials have examined the effects of isoflavones on serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Isoflavones kallikrein related peptidase 3 Homo sapiens
3 In contrast, in 4 of 8 trials involving prostate cancer patients, isoflavones significantly favorably affected PSA although in no studies was there an absolute decrease in PSA concentrations. Isoflavones kallikrein related peptidase 3 Homo sapiens
4 The mechanism by which isoflavones affect PSA could not be determined from the existing research, although hormonal changes do not seem to be a factor. Isoflavones kallikrein related peptidase 3 Homo sapiens
