"Significant increases in BRCA1 and BRCA2 protein levels (>2-fold) were observed at relatively low doses of these agents (20 M of I3C and 0.5-1 M of genistein), suggesting potential physiologic relevance of these findings. While I3C and genistein have a variety of cellular actions in vitro and protect against various types of cancer in vivo, it is unclear which of these actions is essential for cancer prevention and to what degree." - British Journal of Cancer
