Biochemical parameters of metabolism after ovariectomy with and without an isoflavone-rich soy protein isolate diet. After ingestion of an isoflavone-rich diet for one to three months, the biochemical parameters in serum, including alkaline phosphatase, amylase, calcium, GOT (aspartate aminotransferase), and inorganic phosphorus did not show any significant changes (P > 0.05). At the end of the study period, the measurement of body weight, serum creatinine, GPT (alanine aminotransferase), and parathyroid hormone attained a higher value as compared with the preoperative baseline values; however, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups at the end of the study (P > 0.05). Note: A-Pre: Group A rats pre-study; A-Post: Group A rats post-study. B-Pre: Group B rats pre-study; B-Post: Group B rats post-study. C-Pre: Group C rats pre-study; C-Post: Group C rats post-study. D-Pre: Group D rats pre-study; D-Post: Group D rats post-study.
