Body fat of pups and breeders. A. Body fat, as a percentage of body weight, in pups sacrificed at 200 days of age. Bars and error bars represent means + SEM for each dietary group, N = 8 rats/group. The main effect of isoflavones was highly significant (p < 0.001) while the effect of Se and of the interaction were not. Means not sharing a common superscript are significantly (p < 0.05) different by Fisher's pairwise comparisons. B. Body fat, as a percentage of body weight, in breeders sacrificed at approximately 336 days of age. Bars and error bars represent means + SEM for each dietary group, N = 3–4 rats/group. The main effect of isoflavones was significant (p = 0.038) while the effects of Se and the interaction were not. Means not sharing a common superscript are significantly (p < 0.05) different by Fisher's pairwise comparisons.
