Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine genistein has a potentially preventive role against cardiovascular diseases. Genistein inhibits the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme via estrogen receptor and subsequently ERK1/2 signaling pathway in rat aortic endothelial cells. Down-regulation of the angiotensin-convering enzyme with a consequent change in circulating levels of angiotensin II, vasorelaxant angiotensin(1-7) and bradykinin plays an important role in cardiovascular effects of genistein through the ERK1/2 pathway Rattus norvegicus
