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

<table>Effect of daidzein (500 <i>μ</i>g/g bwt) on level of apoptosis through Hoechst (33258) staining. (a) Pictomicrographs showing apoptotic nuclei in prepubertal female Sprague Dawley rats at PND21 and PND50. (b) mean percent change ± SEM of apoptotic nuclei count, in PND21 as well as PND50 mammary glands. Each bar represents the average ± SEM from 6 animals. *<svg height="11.25" id="M69" style="vertical-align:-0.30096pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 56.150002 11.25" width="56.150002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
