“…We previously synthesized 12 conjugated metabolites of Dein and Gein and isolated two compounds from human urine after ingestion of kinako for use as the authentic standard, and we then developed a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-UV-diodearray detector (DAD) method for simultaneous determination of 16 isoflavone metabolites (Fig. 1) in plasma (Hosoda et al, 2010a). By using this method, we found that D-7-4ЈS, genistein-7-glucuronide-4Ј-sulfate (G-7G-4ЈS), and genistein-4Ј,7-diglucuronide (G-4Ј,7-diG) were the major metabolites of Dein and Gein in humans.…”
