Effect of daidzein (500 μg/g bwt) on caspase-3 count. (a) Immunohistochemistry of ER-α in prepubertal female Sprague Dawley rats at PND21 and PND50. (b) mean percent change ± SEM of Caspase-3+ cell count. Each bar represents the average ± SEM from 6 animals. * 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 , ** 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 , *** 𝑃 < 0 . 0 0 1 , compared to the respective value in control group.
