All values are means ± SE (n = 6). Values that do not share the same superscript letters are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Differences between the groups were assessed by Tukey's test.
Dams and their offspring fed the control diet (Control); dams fed the daidzein diet (0.5 g daidzein/kg diet) during pregnancy then the Control diet at postnatal day (PND) 13 and their offspring fed the Control diet (Dz-S); and dams and their offspring fed the daidzein diet (Dz-L).
PND: postnatal day.
