Genistein and daidzein are estrogenic isoflavones found in soybeans. Although they are much less potent than estradiol, infants fed soy formula have serum concentrations that are up to 4 orders of magnitude higher than estradiol. Anatomic, sonographic, and other biochemical evidence of estrogen exposure has not been looked for in infants fed soy. Whether such widely used products do or do not have clinically detectable estrogenic activity in infants, the group with the highest exposure per kilo, is important clinically; in addition, it may be a crucial test of the ability of laboratory measures of estrogenicity to predict actual endocrine response in humans. We have done the field work for pilot studies to examine the natural history of estrogen responsive physiology in the newborn, and have used the results to develop a longitudinal study of the possible estrogenic effects of soy formula on infants. Using samples from this project, we are collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control to see if perchlorate, a contaminant of the US water supply, lowers thyroid hormone levels in infants as it does in adult females. We have reported in abstract form that hogher perchlorate exposure is associated with higher thyroid stimulating hormone level but not lower T4. This finding needs further research.

染料木黄酮和大豆黄酮是在大豆中发现的雌激素。虽然它们的效力远低于雌二醇，但喂食大豆配方奶粉的婴儿的血清浓度比雌二醇高出4个数量级。在食用大豆的婴儿中，尚未发现雌激素暴露的解剖学、超声学和其他生化证据。这些广泛使用的产品是否对婴儿（每公斤暴露量最高的群体）具有临床可检测的雌激素活性，在临床上很重要;此外，它可能是对实验室雌激素测定预测人类实际内分泌反应能力的关键测试。我们已经完成了试点研究的实地工作，以检查新生儿雌激素反应生理学的自然史，并利用这些结果对大豆配方奶粉对婴儿可能的雌激素效应进行了纵向研究。 使用该项目的样本，我们与疾病控制中心合作，看看高氯酸盐，美国供水的污染物，是否会降低婴儿的甲状腺激素水平，就像成年女性一样。 我们已经以摘要的形式报道过，较高的高氯酸盐暴露与较高的促甲状腺激素水平有关，但与较低的T4无关。 这一发现需要进一步研究。
