Data represent least square mean ± SE. † signifies that final values were significantly different (P < 0.05) from their baseline values. No differences were observed between the soy and control groups when parameters where expressed as change (%) from baseline. WBC = white blood cells; LYM = lymphocytes; MON = monocytes; NEU = neutrophils; EOS = eosinophils; BAS = basophils. |
