Assignee

The University of Texas System Board of Regents (UTRGV)

Description

Presented are improved and more sensitive methods for measuring levels of phytoestrogens in a biological sample, and specifically in a human urine sample, employing a High Pressure Liquid Chromatography method, coupled with a photodiode array analysis detection system. Calibration curve preparation for each of a panel of phytoestrogen analytes, including daidzein, equol and genistein, are provided employing techniques that demonstrate greater accuracy and sensitivity of sample level measurement. Clinically applicable techniques suitable for large population scale screening, diet and gut microflora characterization and disease analysis and correlation in human populations, such as in at risk breast cancer populations, through monitoring of phytoestrogen levels, is disclosed.
