Figure 3. Breathing rate of mice treated with soy and radiation.

Mice were treated either with soy or 12 Gy radiation (Rad) administered to the left lung alone or soy isoflavones combined with radiation (Soy + Rad). Soy was continued 5 days a week for up to 18 weeks. The breathing rate of 8 mice per treatment group was measured on day 59, 86 and 130 after initiation of soy treatment. Each dot represents the average breathing rate value obtained from one mouse (n=8 per group).
