- Coronary Artery Diameter [ Time Frame: Day 3-4 after Supro/placebo started. ]Coronary angiograms were acquired digitally using a real-time digital image acquisition system (Siemens AG, Berlin and Munich, Germany) and analysed off-line using quantitative coronary angiography (MEDIS, Leiden, The Netherlands). Basal luminal diameter of the entire coronary artery (mean luminal diameter) was measured for all subjects. Mean luminal diameter and luminal diameter approximately 4 mm distal to the tip of the Doppler wire were measured. The latter measurements were used to quantify volume flow as described previously. Data below are mean coronary artery diameter response following infusion of acetylcholine (ACh 10-5 M).
- Coronary Blood Flow [ Time Frame: Day 3-4 after Supro/placebo started. ]Measurement of diameter 4mm distal to the Doppler wire tip (measured using quantitative coronary angiography) and blood flow velocity, measured using intracoronary Doppler), were made at baseline and at peak velocity change. A quantitative estimate of coronary blood flow was calculated from the Doppler flow velocity and quantitative angiographic data using the following equation: Q = 3.14(D2/4)(APV/2)(0.6) where Q is flow (ml/min), D is vessel diameter (mm) and APV is average peak velocity (cm/s). Data below are measurements taken at peak blood flow response following an infusion of acetylcholine (10-5M).
- Serum Genistein Concentrations [ Time Frame: Day 3 after Supro/placebo started. ]Measured from serum using liquid-chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric bioanalytical assays (HFL Ltd, Fordham, Cambridgeshire, UK).
