Wilcoxon rank sum test comparing placebo to soy group

Plasma mean ± SD in nM; baseline n= 175 placebo+175 soy subjects; Study End n=136 placebo+143 soy subjects

Overnight urine mean ± SD in nmol/mg creatinine; baseline n= 172 placebo+170 soy subjects; Study End n=120 placebo+126 soy subjects

§

Spot urine mean ± SD in nmol/mg creatinine; baseline n= 174 placebo, 175 active; Study End n = 135 placebo, 143 soy subjects

Comparing inter-individually logged isoflavone values with percentage of ideally consumed soy protein doses (bars or protein packages) determined at each specimen collection visit; r=Pearson correlations; P = t-test value; 653 (PL), 618(OU, and 643 (SU) data pairs in the placebo group from 146 subjects; 721 (PL), 673 (OU) and 714 (SU) data pairs in the soy group from 154 subjects
