Prepubertal Daidzein Exposure Enhances Mammary Gland Differentiation and Regulates the Expression of Estrogen Receptor-Alpha and Apoptotic Proteins

Figure 1

Effect of daidzein (500 μg/g bwt) on differentiation of mammary gland through count of TEBs, TDs, and lobules, in prepubertal female Sprague Dawley rats at PND21 and PND50. (a) All mounts of mammary glands. Mean percent change ± SEM in the count of (b) TEBs, (c) TDs, and (d) lobules, from 6 animals. * 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 , ** 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 , *** 𝑃 < 0 . 0 0 1 , compared to the respective value in control group.
