Abstract
- Genistein is an abundant phytoestrogen in soybean. This study aimed to determine the effects of genistein on cholesterol distribution and metabolism in female yellow catfish. Three hundred fish (49.2 ± 1.4 g) were randomly divided into five treatments and received intraperitoneal injections as follows: (1) blank, no injection; (2) control, vehicle only; (3) E2, 17β-estradiol at 10 μg·g−1 body weight; (4) low genistein doses, genistein at 10 μg·g−1 body weight; (5) high genistein doses, genistein at 100 μg·g−1 body weight. Both high and low genistein doses significantly reduced (p
