Impact of soybean bioactive compounds as response to diet-induced chronic inflammation: A systematic review.

[Display omitted] • High-fat diet and alcohol induced inflammation involved in chronic diseases. • Soybean exhibits anti-inflammatory properties due to bioactive compounds. • Anti-inflammatory mechanism works mostly through inhibition of NF-κB pathway. • Soybean bioactive compounds have the potential to mitigate inflammation. Chronic inflammation refers to long-lasting inflammation that occurs over a period of several months to years, and it is associated with the progression of other chronic diseases. It may be induced by alcohol consumption and a high-fat diet. Soybean bioactive compounds prevent chronic inflammation by primarily targeting the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway, which inhibits the phosphorylation of IkappaB kinase complex (IκB) and reduces inflammatory marker levels. We performed a systematic review of studies published between 2012 and 2022 on the impact of soybeans on diet-induced chronic inflammation. Soy bioactive compounds may mitigate chronic inflammation. However, more human intervention studies are needed to assess their efficacy as potential modulating agents for inflammation and inflammation-related diseases. The objective was to review the impact of soy-derived bioactive compounds on high-fat diet-induced and alcohol-induced inflammation. To our knowledge, it is the first review to look specifically at high-fat diet-induced and alcohol-induced inflammation and how it is modulated by specific bioactive compounds in soybean.
