  1. Values represent mean ± SEM (n = 6).
  2. Statistical comparison of groups: means with identical letters in the same column do not differ significantly (P ≤ 0.05).
  3. *G = Groups: C = control; H = hypercholesterolemic; HE = hypercholesterolemic plus E. faecium; HI = hypercholesterolemic plus isoflavone; HS = hypercholesterolemic plus simvastatin.
  4. ** Coefficient of Alimentary Efficacy.
