Table 2.

Male and female pup birth weights and anogenital distances (mean ± SD).

Treatment group n Birth weight (g) Anogenital distance (mm) [distance normalized for body weight]
Male pups
 Control 45 6.1 ± 0.7 3.68 ± 0.30 [0.61 ± 0.08]
 S-(−)equol 40 6.6 ± 1.0a,b 3.87 ± 0.37c [0.59 ± 0.06]
 R-(+)equol 52 6.0 ± 0.7 3.75 ± 0.33 [0.63 ± 0.10]
Female pups
 Control 47 5.8 ± 0.9 1.67 ± 0.26 [0.29 ± 0.05]
 S-(−)equol 44 6.3 ± 0.8a,b 1.81 ± 0.25c [0.29 ± 0.04]
 R-(+)equol 53 5.8 ± 0.6 1.74 ± 0.21 [0.30 ± 0.05]
a

p ≤ 0.008 S-(−)equol-treated pups were heavier than control pups.

b

p ≤ 0.002 S-(−)equol-treated pups were heavier than R-(+)equol-treated pups.

c

p ≤ 0.011 S-(−)equol-treated pups had longer anogenital distances than control pups, this significance was lost when normalized for body weight.
