Scientific Background | Genistein has a wide range of biological actions. It is an inhibitor of tyrosine protein kinase, including epidermal growth factor receptor kinase. It also inhibits DNA topoisomerase and α-glucosidase. It produces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and inhibits endocytosis, as well as, inhibits insulin-induced glucose uptake in adipocytes. |
