[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 54788, member: 12925"] The study conducted in UK involved 200 men with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a total testosterone level less than 12 nmol/L. Subjects took 15 grams of soy protein with 66 mg of isoflavones or without any isoflavones daily for three months. As a result, soy protein with or without isoflavones does not affect either total testosterone or absolute free testosterone levels in the men with diabetes mellitus. Soy protein with isoflavones increases thyroid-stimulating hormone (HSH) and reduces free thyroxine (FT4), which means that the supplement improves thyroid function in the subjects. Low levels of HSH and high levels of FT4 indicate subclinical or clinical hypothyroidism, which can worsen the diabetic condition. For instance, diabetics with hypothyroidism may need more insulin for glycaemia control. The study results indicate soy protein with isoflavones may improve hypothyroidism and help diabetes mellitus. Additionally, the supplementation with soy protein with isoflavones significantly reduces HbA1c and HOMA-IR and triglycerides, CRP and diastolic blood pressure, compared to supplementation with soy protein alone. The results hint that the supplement with both soy protein and isoflavones helps diabetes mellitus and reduces cardiovascular risk.
