Soy protein supplementation in men following radical prostatectomy: a 2-year randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many studies have addressed effects of dietary supplementation with soy protein, but most have been inconsistent and few have been long-term studies in men.

Objectives

This study was a secondary analysis of body weight, blood pressure, thyroid hormones, iron status, and clinical chemistry in a 2-y trial of soy protein supplementation in middle-aged to older men.

Methods

Data were analyzed as secondary outcomes of a randomized controlled trial of dietary supplementation with 20 g/d soy protein isolate, providing 41 mg/d total isoflavones and 23 mg/d genistein, in 44- to 75-y-old men who were at risk of cancer recurrence following prostatectomy randomized to soy (n = 50) or a casein-based placebo (n  = 43). Weight, blood pressure, and blood samples were colle
