0 G: genistein-free diet, 0 mg genistein/kg diet; 600 G: genistein-containing diet, 600 mg genistein/kg diet. All weights are in grams. Values are reported as mean ± SD. = 6–8/group. denotes significant difference, , compared to female 0 G, and # denotes significant difference, , genistein-dependent effect.
IVSd: diastolic interventricular wall thickness; IVSs: systolic interventricular wall thickness; LVIDd: diastolic LV internal dimension; LVIDs: systolic LV internal dimension; LVPWd: diastolic LV posterior wall thickness; LVPWs: systolic LV posterior wall thickness; FS: fractional shortening.
