The dietary intervention of synbiotic preparation promotes the bioconversion of soy isoflavones to equol and its metabolic mechanism
Soy isoflavones (SI) undergo biotransformation into equol (EQ) by gut microbiota and equol exhibits higher bioactivity than soy isoflavones. As a result, the endogenous equol concentration becomes a crucial indicator for assessing the bioavailability of soy isoflavones. This study screened prebiotic...
