Isoflavone-enriched whole soy milk powder stimulates osteoblast differentiation.

ABSTRACT: Functional foods with high nutritive values and potential therapeutic potential is a prerequisite for today's ailing world. Soybeans exert beneficial effects on human health. It contains plentiful polyunsaturated fatty acids and dietary fibers along with several isoflavonoids having bioactivity for improving health. Recent studies have shown that soybean isoflavones can have a positive effect on bone growth. The current study was designed to observe any impact of isoflavone-enriched soy milk powder (I-WSM) on inducing osteogenic properties at cellular and molecular levels. Precisely, we have evaluated the effect of I-WSM on the bone differentiation process. Our results show that I-WSM has the ability to stimulate osteogenic properties in osteoblasts both at the initial and terminal stages
