Effects of soy components on serum levels of testosterone (A), dihydrotestosterone ; (DHT;B), testosterone to DHT ratio (C), and AR bioassay activity (D). Serum levels of total testosterone and DHT were measured by enzyme immunoassays. The AR bioassay activity was measured by yeast-based AR transactivation assay. Dietary supplement of genistin significantly reduced serum levels of DHT and increased total testosterone to DHT ratio, compared with the controls. Dietary soy protein significantly decreased bioactive androgen in vivo. Values represent mean ± SEM. Asterisks indicate P at least <0.05 compared with the control.
