The role of genistein in experimental hepatic ischemia‒reperfusion model in rats.

ABSTRACT

Genistein is a natural compound from the class of isoflavonoids found in high concentrations in legumes and soybeans. In this experimental study; we suggest that genistein might cause favorable outcomes in the hepatic surgery because of its protective effects on hepatic ischemia‒reperfusion injury (Tab. 2, Fig. 6, Ref. 28). Keywords genistein, isoflavonoids,legumes, soybeans, hepatic surgery, ischemia‒reperfusion injury.
