Genistein supplementation did not affect blood lipid profile. At the end of the eighth week of the experiment, fasting plasma total cholesterol (A), HDL-cholesterol (B), and triglyceride (C) were measured. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels (D) were calculated based on total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, and triglyceride. Data are shown as means ± SE (n = 8 mice per group; groups that are identified by different letters are significantly different, p < 0.05). STD, standard diet; HF, high fat diet; STZ, streptozotocin; GE, genistein.
