Effects of phytoestrogens on plasma total triiodothyronine (T 3 ) concentrations in male goat kids. Goat kids at the age of 3 months received either a standard diet (controls) or a diet supplemented with phytoestrogens (3 - 4 mg/kg/day) for a period of ~3 months (August 19 to November 7). At week 6 of the experiment (i.e. September 17), phytoestrogen-exposed animals (closed circles, solid line) had significantly (* P < 0.05) higher total T3 concentrations than controls (open circles, dashed line).
