Comparison of body composition, blood pressure and serum biochemical markers in low and high isoflavones consumers by equol phenotypes.

Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Skewed variables or variables with heterogeneity in variance (body fat%, serum glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol and high sensitivity C-reactive protein) were corrected by log transformation and reported arithmetic means± standard deviation. BMI indicates body mass index; WC indicates waist circumference; HC indicates hip circumference; WHR indicates waist to hip ratio; DBP and SBP indicates diastolic and systolic blood pressure; FG indicates fasting glucose; TC indicates total cholesterol; TG indicates triglycerides; HDL-C indicates HDL-cholesterol; LDL-C indicates LDL-cholesterol; hs-CRP indicates high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; FFA indicates free fatty acid;*indicates significant difference between high and low isoflavones intake groups by general linear model (GLM) (P
