Researchers found that consuming a diet rich in the isoflavone compound genistein can benefit people with obesity and diabetes. The study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, found that the compound can improve thermogenesis and metabolism, as well as control corticosterone levels.
These changes led the researchers to conclude that a genistein-rich diet has a positive effect on thermogenesis and the production of T3, as well as levels of corticosterone in obese mice.
