a

Across all diets, fat and micronutrient levels were matched where practical. Within a set of maintenance or growth diets, protein and sulfur amino acids are equivalent. Vitamin levels were higher than needed to compensate for losses during irradiation.

b

Ingredient levels in each diet are given as g ingredient/kg diet.

c

Arcon® SJ, product 066408, NutriSoy® isolated soy protein concentrate (SPC), Archer Daniels Midland Company, IL.

d

NovaSoy®650, isoflavone isolate (IF), Archer Daniels Midland Company, IL.

e

Cellulose, a fiber source, was reduced in diets containing Arcon® SJ, which has a fiber content of 19%. All diets contained 5%, or 50 g/kg, fiber.

f

AIN-93 vitamin mix (Reeves et al., 1993) was increased to 15 g/kg diet from the usual 10 g/kg to account for potential losses during irradiation. The trace mineral mix was as specified in Reeves et al. (1993).

g

These macrominerals were adjusted by the manufacturer where necessary to adjust for contributions from the SPC product and to support reproduction.
