Isoflavon and it's effects on blood glucose?

[ymwang]

So I've read several journals about isoflavon and blood glucose, and how they tested it on diabetic rats... journals concluded that this isoflavon can lower blood glucose but I can't seem to understand how so...

 

Can someone help explain to me briefly?? Because I read several journals, some said it's due to its estrogenic effects, but I thought oestrogen makes you gain weight instead because it's "fat"?? Like, what does it do to our blood glucose levels?

 

I also read that it stimulates cell's response towards insulin, but can't seem to understand it completely either... I know this is not the "homework answer" kind of thing.. I just need help in understanding and a little explanation..

 

 

 

Thank you, it means a lot..

 

 

Cheers.
