Glycitin (glycitein 7-O-glucoside) is anisoflavone found in soy, and remains to various degrees in soy products liketofu,soymilk[1] andsoy sauce.[2] Although glycitin has its own health associated properties (below), it can be transformed toglycitein by human intestinal flora by the action ofbeta-glucosidases.[3]
Some interesting effects of glycitin include humandermal fibroblast cell proliferation and migration viaTGF‐β signaling, glycitin treatment produces anti-photoaging effects such ascollagen type I andcollagen type III increase at both the mRNA and protein levels. Other noted effects decreasedelastase, and decreasedβ‐galactosidase activation.[4] In conjunction with 4′,6,7-trimethoxyisoflavone (TMF), an isoflavone that promotes fibroblast migration but not proliferation,wound healing and anti-scarring activity (reorganization and wound fibrosis inhibition) were significantly and synergistically boosted in bothin vivo mice andin vitro.[5]
