Outline of Final Research Achievements

Equol, a metabolite of isoflavone, is a chiral molecule that exists as the enantiomers (R)(+)-equol and (S)(-)-equol.To compare the effect of R-equol and S-equol on bone loss, ovariectomized (OVX) mice were used and each equol(0.5mg/day) were administered to the OVX mice. As natural selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), the equol enantiomers inhibited bone loss, while minimizing the impact on the uterus. S-equol had stronger effects than R-equol in vivo. We performed transcriptome analysis to comprehensively understand the effects of equol enentiomers in mouse femur.DNA microarray analysis demonstrated that S-equol might down-regulate the expression of osteoclast differentiation associated genes responsible for bone resorption. Furthermore, to reduce isoflavone amount for the administration to OVX mice, a combination of isoflavone and indigestible sugars should be considered. The effective lowest dose was confirmed whether it might be about 0.05% as the aglycone daidzein.
