GCP (GENISTEIN CONCENTRATED POLYSACCHARIDE): A SOYBEAN ISOFLAVONE DIETARY SUPPLEMENT FERMENTED BY BASIDIOMYCETES WITH ANTI CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITIES: THEIR MOLECULAR MECHANISMS AND CHEMOPREVENTIVE POTENTIAL

Abstract

GCP is a novel functional food obtained from the extracts of soybean isoflavone fermented with basidiomycetes mycelia. The enzyme reaction makes GCP containing high concentration of isoflavone aglycons, particularly for genistein and high content of polysaccharides. GCP exerts its anti-tumor activities by anti-angiogenesis and induction of apoptosis in cancer tissues and by enhancement of immune responses in immune system.(omitted)
