Bone mineral density of the right femur in offspring of dams that were fed the control diet or the diet containing 0.5 g daidzein/kg during pregnancy and lactation and/or the post-weaning period. Data are shown for PNDs 22, 35, and 77. All values are means ± SEM (n = 6). Values that do not share the same superscript letters are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05). Significant differences in BMD were determined by one-factor ANCOVA and Fisher's protected least significant difference test. Control group: rats were fed a control diet; Dz-S group: rats were fed a daidzein diet (0.5 g daidzein/kg diet) during pregnancy and lactation; Dz-L group: rats were fed a daidzein diet (0.5 g daidzein/kg diet) during pregnancy, lactation, and post-weaning. PND: postnatal day.
