  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. * C = control; IY = isoflavone-supplemented soy yogurt; H = hypercholesterolemic; HIY = hypercholesterolemic plus isoflavone-supplemented soy yogurt; HY = hypercholesterolemic plus soy yogurt; HP = hypercholesterolemic plus placebo; HE = hypercholesterolemic plus E.faecium; HI = hypercholesterolemic plus isoflavone.
