While soy appears to have a negligible effect on hormonal network, menstrual cycle length and fertility outcomes of healthy women, some clues emerged from literature on its possible beneficial effect in the case of endocrine diseases such as PCOS. Despite the sample size and full follow-up for endpoints evaluation, the study displays limitations. (Reference Filiberto, Mumford and Pollack37). For this reason, the clinical data were meta-ana Although a study in cheetahs suggested that a high intake of phytoestrogens may impair. From a sub-analysis on ethnic characteristics, it was further highlighted that only Asian women showed a significant reduction in follicular estradiol from baseline (174%). There was no evaluation of dietary habits and the determination of hormone levels was performed using non-validated ELISA kits, due to limited budget. This may have influenced the presence of large confidence intervals. Moreover, urinary concentrations seem to reflect the isoflavone intakes in a short time window. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review on soy effect on women's fertility. Has data issue: true Manuscripts exploring multiple aspects were discussed in different paragraphs, where deemed necessary. However, the terms are often interchangeably, being closely associated with the possibility of giving birth to children. This aspect was different from the results of the clinical trials with high intakes listed above, perhaps due to very different intakes (mean isoflavone consumption of 34mg/d in this cohort). It is an endocrine dysfunction that includes hormonal alterations (increased levels of adrenal and ovarian androgens and SHBG secretion from the liver) and anovulatory disorders(Reference Ferk, Teran and Gersak64). As for males, a 2010 meta-analysis highlighted the safety of soy on fertility outcomes(Reference Hamilton-Reeves, Vazquez and Duval21), recently confirmed by an updated meta-analysis on this topic(Reference Reed, Camargo and Hamilton-Reeves22). No restrictions were applied using filters and results were collected from search engines by the inception through 4 April 2021. However, soy intake did not correlate with cycle length (r: 012, P=045). Six grams per day of black soybean powder were administered to the intervention group, whereas thirty-four individuals received no treatment as a control group. Servier Medical Art. In another clinical trial already discussed, although no changes in cycle length were found following soy foods intervention in twenty women with a follow-up of at least seven menstrual cycles, a significant reduction in follicular phase by 93% (P<005) in estradiol concentrations was observed, but not in luteal phase(Reference Wu, Stanczyk and Hendrich28). Similarly, a significant correlation between isoflavone intake and nulligravidity emerged (P=003) with a 13% higher risk but with a wide range of confidence interval (95% CI 2, 26) in women with intake 40mg/d compared with lower intakes (<10mg/d). In the first clinical trial by Unifer and colleagues, 1500mg/d of isoflavones from soy or placebo were administered for 10d to 134 women who had been infertile for at least 2 years, undergoing intrauterine insemination after 100mg/d for 5d of clomiphene citrate treatments (an ovulation inducer)(Reference Unfer, Casini and Costabile31). Furthermore, the evaluation of dietary pattern before infertility treatments does not exclude the possibility that soy consumption may have been influenced by the search for a healthy pattern to achieve pregnancy. 4 Center for Complementary Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine II, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany. Furthermore, considering soy as a mere source of isoflavones is extremely reductive. Soy food and soy isoflavone intake were unrelated to sperm motility, sperm morphology or ejaculate volume. No investigation into the individual's ability to absorb and use isoflavones from soy milk was performed. The influence of high-dose of isoflavones on fertility emerging from the studies is difficult to be transferred to other groups of individuals with other ethnicity or different treatments. and From obtained data, it seems likely that soy consumption, not only in the form of isoflavones in pharmacological quantities, could have a beneficial effect on fertility, especially in those individuals with fertility problems. Deepak Kumar, Komal Follicular development, the number of preovulatory follicles and the pulsatility index values were not different between groups after intervention. Isoflavones are plant-based compounds found almost exclusively in beans, like soybeans, that mimic the action of the hormone estrogen. Furthermore, the use of spot urine samples could generate an underestimation of urinary isoflavones quantification. Keywords were searched in titles and abstracts and combined with MeSH terms, where available, adapting the query format based on the search engine used. Unfortunately, the work of Kohama et al. Why did you take Soy Isoflavones: I had tried most other things so decided to be a guinea pig. One of the first research papers to look directly at soy and fertility outcomes was from the Adventist Health Study-2. However, the evaluation of ability to absorb and metabolise isoflavones was lacking in the present study. The estrogen-like effects of isoflavones underlie concerns about soy and fertility.

A systematic consultation of literature was launched on four search engines (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Trials Library and ClinicalTrials.gov) using the following keywords: (Soy OR Soy Foods OR Soybeans OR Genistein OR Daidzein OR Isoflavones OR Phytoestrogens) AND (Fertility OR Infertility OR Fecundability). The concomitant treatment with soybean phytoestrogens significantly increased the implantation rate (254% v. 202%; P<005), the pregnancy rate (393% v. 209%; P<005) and the pregnancy-to-delivery rate (303% v. 162%; P<005) compared with placebo. United States California Despite the significant increase in FSH, LH and estradiol in both intervention arms, the endometrial thickness (assessed by transvaginal sonography) had a major improvement in the intervention group compared with placebo. On the other hand, many perplexities have been raised about possible negative mechanisms leading to endocrine disruptor effects(Reference Bar-El and Reifen20). Many of its components show an antioxidant activity that can at least partially explain its effectiveness(Reference Rizzo9). Main cellular mechanism for isoflavones. The ethnicity assessment of participants was useful in identifying, as might be expected, a greater consumption of soy foods by Asian individuals. 44% of women of Asian descent were in the highest quartile of isoflavone intake. Soy has been used to treat certain symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes) and to help prevent bone loss ( osteoporosis ).Some supplement products have been found to contain possibly . How soy isoflavones help to induce ovulation Soy isoflavones have been found effective in inducing ovulation in women with irregular ovulation or anovulation. Isoflavones in human plasma are usually low (04157nM) in individuals consuming low-isoflavone diets but in large soy-consumers, such as Asian people, isoflavone concentration can reach up to ~4M, with equol reaching up to ~40nM in low consumers and up to ~2M in large soy-consumers(Reference Morton, Arisaka and Miyake88). Similar significant association was observed for peak luteal progesterone 10ng/ml (aOR: 140, 95% CI 100, 196, P=005). WHAT IS IT? It helps you to ovulate and they quality. Uses. The individual conversion capacity, equol-competence, offers a useful tool for estimating the biological effect of these compounds(Reference Zubik and Meydani15). No correlation with specific isoflavones such as equol, daidzein and O-DMA was found. They can bind G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPR30), with effects driven by both genomic and non-genomic regulation involving different cellular signalling pathways, such as intracellular increase of calcium or NO levels(Reference Ropero, Alonso-Magdalena and Ripoll75), as observed in human endothelial cells after stimulation with equol 100nM(Reference Rowlands, Chapple and Siow76). Improvements were observed only in lipid profile (circulating total cholesterol, LDL and LDL/HDL ratio and triglycerides). However, the work had several strengths: the real evaluation of luteal and follicular phase through the dosage of urinary LH:creatinine ratio, the characterisation of sampling according to the cycle; the evaluation of isoflavone content in foods used for the intervention and quantification of urinary isoflavones to check compliance; the use of soy foods and not supplements or extracts to approach a real-life pattern; the characterisation of diet at various steps of clinical trial to avoid confounding mechanisms; the stratification by ethnicity which indirectly showed the effect on equol-producer individuals.

Compliance with the intervention was suggested by urinary excretion of isoflavones. Researchers did not observe any clinical improvement, alteration of menstrual cycle or hormonal alteration (estradiol, SHBG, DHEAS, androstenedione, testosterone, FSH, LH) compared with baseline levels. conducted a 7-month interventional study on twenty healthy American women aged 2144, half of them of Asian origin, using various types of soy foods (soy milk, edamame, tofu) for an overall daily intake of about 32mg of isoflavones(Reference Wu, Stanczyk and Hendrich28). Published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of The Nutrition Society. Furthermore, the search for sources has been extended to the single manuscripts reference lists. CA. Eating a few servings of soy each week could improve fertility and metabolic aspects of PCOS. Guo, Tingting Furthermore, the nutritional habits of Adventists differ from the Western population ones and they show soy consumption more similar to populations in South-East Asia(Reference Messina53). Fertility is defined by the number of offspring produced by an individual. Finally, they show antioxidant activity: a shared property among polyphenols(Reference Patel, Boersma and Crawford19). The influence on SHBG levels can have a beneficial effect from an endocrine point of view, without negative effects on ovulation. A total of 834 entries were obtained following search engine queries (PubMed: 381; ScienceDirect: 392; Cochrane Library Trials: 30 and ClinicalTrials.gov: 31). 1. Soy is a very popular food and its consumption is part of the traditional cuisine of South-East Asian countries. Genistein treatment reduced LDL cholesterol and triglycerides levels. Soy is a key food in human nutrition. Furthermore, the individuals recruited were seeking for a pregnancy and this could have changed their behaviour. The researchers found that the isoflavones resulted in increased cell growth. The evaluation of isoflavones circulating levels and their urinary excretion allowed to show a wide inter-individual variation of metabolic and absorption capacity. The FFQ was not specifically designed for phytoestrogen assessment and this may have underestimated intakes. Such shorter menstrual cycle length seemed not clinically relevant because shorter than 1d. Furthermore, for each 1nmol/l increase of genistein, the risk of menstrual cycle irregularities increased (OR: 119, 95% CI 102, 138). As expected, women with the highest soy consumption were more likely to be of Asian descent. In 2005, Kohama and colleagues published a short communication about a 6 months clinical trial on thirty-six Japanese women with secondary amenorrhea (or anovulation)(Reference Kohama, Kobayashi and Inoue33). Good: strong ovulation pains and increased ewcm. Mildly increased levels of SHBG were associated with higher dietary isoflavone intakes (Q4 [16788mg/d] v. Q1 [0003mg/d]) in the adjusted linear mixed model (: 009, 95% CI 002, 016), but no correlation was found for estradiol, progesterone, LH, FSH levels or anovulatory events. PMCID: PMC8922143. Moreover, difficulties related to data collection about nutritional intakes were available, and individual reporting errors must be taken into account. The obtained results were evaluated for duplicates and then screened for titles and abstracts information. The dietary intake of isoflavones did not appear to be associated with fertility in the two cohorts but some marginal evidence of amelioration of fertility was related to a higher intake of isoflavones among 30 years old individuals after age stratification (Fecundability Ratios: 112, 95% CI 994, 134 and 119, 95% CI 092, 155 in the two cohorts comparing 90th with <24th percentile). DOI: 10.1017/jns.2022.15. Fertility is closely associated with menstrual cycle functions and a longer time to pregnancy is associated with shorter menstrual cycles(Reference Crawford, Pritchard and Herring56Reference Wise, Mikkelsen and Rothman58). The present study has numerous strengths: a large sample of participants with good adherence to the study, a detailed assessment of dietary habits, and comprehensive sampling during all phases of menstrual cycle. 3 Department of Human Sciences and Promotion of the Quality of Life, San Raffaele Roma Open University, 00166 Rome, Italy. Although this clinical trial showed the long-term effect of soy ingestion on serum hormone levels, it was a pilot study with a limited number of participants (fourteen premenopausal women). The strength of these studies was the assessment of hormone levels based on the menstrual cycle phase. [cited 2021 Jul 26]. Although this was a randomised, placebo-controlled and double-blinded trial with a sample size appropriate to the power of detection, there was no evaluation of serum and urinary levels of isoflavones and/or metabolites. Presumably, treatment with pharmacological concentrations of soy phytoestrogens allows mitigating the negative effect of clomiphene citrate on endometrial tissue, thus facilitating embryo implantation. The limitations of these studies have already been discussed in the previous paragraph. Fig. 2023. FSH levels were not significantly changed after genistein intervention. Similarly, the duration of interventions is limited and equol-producers have not been identified. No changes were highlighted for DHEA, DHEAS, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) concentration or LH:FSH ratio. Implantation (P for interaction <002), pregnancy (P for interaction <003) and live birth rates (P for interaction <001) were higher among soy-consumers (n: 176, 74%; mean isoflavone intake of 34mg/d) without linear dependence with urinary BPA quartiles (P trend >005), compared with no consumer who had lower rates with higher BPA excretion (P trend <005). Higher soy products intake did not correlate with the rate of infertility. While the observational data better reflect the effects of diet in free-living conditions compared with experimental settings of clinical trials, the use of food frequency questionnaires exposes to possible misclassification and measurement errors. However, ethnicity was not used for outcomes stratification. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism randomized 70 women with PCOS into two groups to take either 50 mg/d soy isoflavones or a placebo for 12 weeks. Soy isoflavones are generally considered safe .Numerous randomized controlled trials in menopausal women reported that side effects were not significantly different between soy isoflavone and placebo groups .Adverse events were generally mild and included gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal complaints .One systematic review of over 100 studies in patients with or at risk of breast cancer . The diagnosis of PCOS occurs in the presence of at least two of the three Rotterdam Criteria: oligo or anovulation, polycystic ovary morphology and biochemical or clinical hyperandrogenism(Reference Pfieffer67). In particular, among selected studies, only the intervention study by Haudum and colleagues explored the stratification of participants for equol-competence(Reference Haudum, Lindheim and Ascani46). Soy isoflavones can help induce ovulation in such women. Participants were classified by ethnicity; however, the population sample size did not allow to perform stratification of outcomes based on this aspect. In another study, women were more likely to get pregnant if they ate soy isoflavones alongside . Additional considerations regarding hormonal influences will be discussed in the next paragraph. Render date: 2023-03-02T11:20:28.481Z Measurement of urinary isoflavones and their metabolites appears to be a more reliable approach than dietary assessment alone. In this context, the evaluation of urine samples cannot be underestimated as a valuable tool for detection of the real bioavailability of isoflavones whose metabolisation requires the intervention of intestinal microbiota. Soaking, fermentation, and heating may reduce problematic antinutrients contained in soy. Adapted from SMART: Servier Medical Art(89).

Publication types Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't MeSH terms (Reference Moher, Liberati and Tetzlaff24). In addition, non-English papers could have provided relevant data on the topic, especially those from countries with a more consistent history of soy consumption. It is important to evaluate the levels of hormones that fluctuate during the cycle at several points. Jamilian and colleagues in 2016 conducted another parallel clinical trial on seventy Iranian women with PCOS, using 50mg/d of soy isoflavones for a 1-month follow-up(Reference Jamilian and Asemi43). Eating Places. Studies have also shown that soybeans contribute towards lower levels of cholesterol, less risk of heart disease, breast cancer, and osteoporosis and fewer menopausal symptoms. The procedure was carried out following the most recent PRISMA guidelines(Reference Liberati, Altman and Tetzlaff23). PMID: 35320928. However, the mechanisms underlying isoflavones effects on human health are manifold. The possibility of a sexual development disorder as a neonatal programming effect is an often raised hypothesis because circulating levels of isoflavones are higher in soy-fed infants compared with cow milk formula or breastfed infants(Reference Andres, Moore and Linam69). The phytoestrogen actions of soy isoflavones may increase estrogen levels in the body and induce ovulation in women, thus, may speed up the process of pregnancy. These also included non-soy derived phytoestrogens, such as lignans. Soy protein has gained considerable attention for its potential role in improving risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The article processing charge was funded by the Baden-Wuerttemberg Ministry of Science, Research and Art and the University of Freiburg in the funding programme Open Access Publishing. The consumption of soy over time, the possible use of certain foods considered healthy in seeking pregnancy or the willingness to avoid pregnancy could generate spurious associations. Get the latest business insights from Dun & Bradstreet. Furthermore, even at high concentrations, they did not show a clear influence on fertility. However, levels of progesterone, estradiol, free estradiol, estrone and SHBG did not show significant differences. These clinical trials had several strengths including the presence of a placebo group, randomisation, double-blinding and recruitment of a wide number of participants.
