20 / 1000+ resultsresearch Dietary Soy Oil Content and Soy-Derived Phytoestrogen Genistein Increase Resistance to Alopecia Areata Onset in C3H/HeJ Mice
This study found that increasing dietary soy oil content reduced alopecia areata development in C3H/HeJ mice, though genistein injection showed no significant effect.
research Antibacterial and Wound Healing Stimulant Nanofibrous Dressing Consisting of Soluplus and Soy Protein Isolate Loaded with Mupirocin
This study developed electrospun nanofibers containing mupirocin for wound treatment, reporting enhanced antibacterial activity, high water absorption, and accelerated wound healing in a rat model, suggesting potential use for severe skin injuries at risk of infection.
research Radioprotection of Lung Tissue by Soy Isoflavones
In this animal study, soy isoflavones were found to protect lung tissue from the adverse effects of radiation, such as skin injury, inflammation, and fibrosis, suggesting a potential radioprotective benefit.
research Soymilk Reduces Hair Growth And Hair Follicle Dimensions
This study found that soybean-derived serine protease inhibitors and soymilk may influence hair pigmentation and growth, suggesting their potential use in hair care and management.
research Scientific Opinion on the Substantiation of Health Claims Related to Soy Isoflavones and Protection of DNA, Proteins, and Lipids from Oxidative Damage, Maintenance of Normal Blood LDL Cholesterol Concentrations, Reduction of Vasomotor Symptoms Associated with Menopause, Maintenance of Normal Skin Tonicity, Contribution to Normal Hair Growth, and Cardiovascular Health
There is not enough evidence to support health claims about soy isoflavones.
research A Soy-Derived Immunostimulating Peptide Inhibits Etoposide-Induced Alopecia in Neonatal Rats
Soymetide-4 from soy can prevent hair loss caused by a cancer drug in rats.
research Androgenic Alopecia Is Associated With Less Dietary Soy, Higher Blood Vanadium, and rs1160312 Polymorphism in Taiwanese Communities
This study found that in men with androgenic alopecia, moderate to severe cases were associated with the AA genotype of rs1160312, blood vanadium concentrations, and regular consumption of soy bean drinks.
research Alopecia in Rats Fed Certain Soybean Oil Meal Rations
This study reported that supplementation with inositol, biotin, cystine, or methionine prevented hair loss in rats fed soybean oil meal, with cystine and methionine also significantly increasing growth rates.
research Soy Protein Containing Isoflavones Improves Facial Signs of Photoaging and Skin Hydration in Postmenopausal Women: Results of a Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Trial
In this study, a 6-month randomized controlled trial with postmenopausal women reported that supplementing with soy protein isolate with isoflavones led to significant improvements in skin hydration and reduced wrinkles and facial pigment intensity, but did not affect sebum production.
research Bacterial Cellulose/Soybean Protein Isolate Composites with Promoted Inflammation Inhibition, Angiogenesis, and Hair Follicle Regeneration for Wound Healing
In this study, researchers reported that wound dressings made from bacterial cellulose composites modified with soybean protein (BC/7S and BC/11S) improved wound healing and reduced scarring in rat models, with BC/11S showing superior outcomes.
research The Beauty of Soy for Skin, Hair, and Nails
This review discusses soy's potential benefits for skin, hair, and nails, noting that while skin and nail improvements are more pronounced, hair benefits are modest; it reports no new clinical results.
research Clinical Efficacy of Topical or Oral Soy Supplementation in Dermatology: A Systematic Review
This review found that both oral and topical soy-based products showed positive effects on various skin-related outcomes, including aging signs and skin barrier function, but topical applications were more likely to improve skin barrier status compared to oral supplementation.
research Non-Denatured Soybean Extracts in Skin Care: Multiple Anti-Aging Effects
This review discusses the potential skin care benefits of non-denatured soybean extracts, including skin lightening and UV protection, but reports no clinical results.
research Soy Protein/Beta-Chitin Sponge-Like Scaffolds Laden With Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Promote Diabetic Chronic Wound Healing
This study found that combining mesenchymal stromal cells from adipose tissue and hair follicles with soy protein and β-chitin scaffolds significantly reduced wound healing time and improved skin regeneration in vivo.
research Capryloyl Glycine And Soy Isoflavonoids In Hypertrichosis: An Experimental And Placebo-Controlled Clinical Study
In this placebo-controlled clinical study, a cream containing 4% capryloyl glycine and 1% glycine soy‐fermented extract effectively inhibited ODC1 activity and improved hypertrichosis in 91.7% of Caucasian female patients on the forearms, whereas no improvement was observed with the placebo.
research Integrating Multi-Omics Analyses of Nonomuraea Dietziae to Reveal the Role of Soybean Oil in [(4′-OH)MeLeu]4-CsA Overproduction
This study found that supplementing soybean oil significantly increased the production of the cyclosporine A derivative [(4'-OH)MeLeu]4-CsA by 55.6%, offering potential enhancements for its clinical application.
research PLGA–Soya Lecithin Based Hybrid Nanocomposite for Targeted Topical Delivery of Resveratrol in Psoriasis Management
This study developed a nanocarrier-based gel to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of resveratrol in treating psoriasis. In a mouse model, the gel improved skin penetration and retention, showed notable anti-psoriatic effects, and was deemed safe and biocompatible.
research Supplementation With Soy Hull During Late Gestation and Lactation on Parasite Indicators in Hair Sheep Ewes
In this study, supplementing ewes with soy hulls instead of a traditional corn-based supplement showed no impact on gastrointestinal nematode infection levels in hair sheep ewes managed in a pasture-based system, though some differences in packed cell volume at weaning were noted.
research Radioprotective Effects of Soy Isoflavones on Normal Lung Tissue Could Translate to Improved Radiation Therapy Outcomes for Lung Cancer
This study found that soy isoflavones protected normal lung structures in mice against radiation-induced inflammation, damage, and increased breathing rate following radiation treatment.
research Evaluation of Hair Growth Promoting Activity of Standardized Soybean Extract on Testosterone-Induced Alopecia
This abstract mentions that while synthetic drugs like minoxidil and finasteride for androgenic alopecia have side effects, the characteristics of popular natural alternatives, such as soybean, remain largely unreported, despite consumer preference for these products.
