Uses
A metabolite of isoflavone derivatives. A derivative of Glycitein. Inhibitor.
Definition
ChEBI: A glycosyloxyisoflavone that is isoflavone substituted by a methoxy group at position 6, a hydroxy group at position 4' and a beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy group at position 7.
General Description
Glycitin is an isoflavonoid recently found in flowers of
Pueraria thunbergianaI. Glycitin can be modified into the metabolite glycitein which has anti-inflammatory properties.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glycitin is a soy isoflavone in the glucoside form. A rat model study demonstrated glycitin to be effective in preventing bone loss and reversing the unfavorable changes of lipid metabolism in this model.
