  1. Values (in mg/dL) represent mean ± SEM (n = 6). C = control; H = hypercholesterolemic; HUF = hypercholesterolemic plus unfermented soy product, HF = hypercholesterolemic plus fermented soy product, HIF = hypercholesterolemic plus isoflavone-supplemented fermented soy product. T0 = before the start of the study, T60 = end of the experiment. Statistical comparison of treatment groups: means with identical lower-case letters in the same row do not differ significantly (P ≤ 0.05). Statistical comparison of times: means with identical upper-case letters in the same column do not differ significantly (P ≤ 0.05).
