Nonproducer | Equol producer | P value2 | Adjusted P value3 | |
Uterine weight, mg | 52.2 (49.6, 55.0)a | 45.8 (43.8, 47.9)b | 0.047 | 0.33 |
Uterine area, mm2 | 1.58 (1.48, 1.68)a | 1.28 (1.21, 1.35)b | 0.015 | 0.30 |
Endometrial area, mm2 | 0.87 (0.81, 0.94)a | 0.68 (0.64, 0.73)b | 0.014 | 0.30 |
Endometrial luminal epithelial height, μm | 18.3 (17.9, 18.7)a | 17.0 (16.6, 17.4)b | 0.020 | 0.16 |
Vaginal epithelial thickness, μm | 101.3 (97.3, 105.3)a | 88.3 (84.7, 91.9)b | 0.013 | 0.25 |
Values are mean (mean – SEM, mean + SEM), n = 54–59 (nonproducer) or 55–60 (equol producer). Labeled means in a row without a common letter differ, P < 0.05.
P value for main effect of intestinal microbiota status.
P value for main effect of intestinal microbiota status after adjusting for estrous cycle stage as a covariate.
