Biochem/physiol Actions Daidzin was the most potent isoflavone glycoside tested in modulating differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells toward osteoblasts and away from adipocytes.1
Biochem/physiol Actions Daidzin is an isoflavone reported to have anti-oxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-artherosclerotic activities. Daidzin is the major active component of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) derived from radix puerariae (Kudzu) that is commonly used to treat alcohol abuse. Daidzin is a potent and selective inhibitor of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH-2). Daidzin was the most potent isoflavone glycoside tested in modulating differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells toward osteoblasts and away from adipocytes.1 Other Notes Tandem Mass Spectrometry data independently generated by Scripps Center for Metabolomics is available to view or download in PDF. 30408.pdf Tested metabolites are featured on Scripps Center for Metabolomics METLIN Metabolite Database.
