Dietary Genistein Could Modulate Hypothalamic Circadian Entrainment, Reduce Body Weight, and Improve Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Female Mice

Figure 3

Dietary genistein could improve lipid metabolism. (a) Serum total cholesterol; (b) serum triacylglycerol; (c) serum HDL-C; (d) serum LDL-C, and (e) serum FFA. HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FFA: free fatty acids; CON: normal control diet; HF: high-fat diet without genistein; HFG: high-fat diet with genistein. Data are expressed as means ± S.E.M. (n=8/group). Mean values were significantly different between other groups and the CON group: p<0.05; p<0.01; p<0.001. Mean values were significantly different between HF group and the HFG group: p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001.
