| Parameters | PC | SIF(0.10) | SIF(0.15) | SIF(0.20) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial weight | 95.6 ± 1.52 | 97.2 ± 1.52 | 96.3 ± 1.52 | 97.7 ± 1.52 |
| Weight after PCOS | 124.6 ± 1.73 | 124.2 ± 1.73 | 127.2 ± 1.73 | 126.6 ± 1.73 |
| Weight Gain First Month | 30.0 ± 1.20 | 27.0 ± 1.20 | 30.0 ± 1.20 | 28.0 ± 1.20 |

Final Weight gain |
93.4 ± 4.75b | 79.4 ± 4.75a | 77.2 ± 4.75a | 72.5 ± 4.75a |
| Feed Conversion Ratio | 15.4 ± 0.45b | 17.7 ± 0.65b | 18.2 ± 0.57ab | 19.3 ± 0.69a |
The values are means ± SD of three independent determinations. PC (positive control without isoflavones); SIF0.10 (soy isoflavones: 0.10 g/kg body weight); SIF0.15 (soy isoflavones: 0.15 g/kg body weight); SIF0.20 (soy isoflavones: 0.20 g/kg body weight).
