Body composition was assessed by DEXA, tolerance oral test, forced swimming elevated plus maze tests, respectively. Food intake mass gain higher for MNOvx, followed (p<0.05). The group gained less fat than (p<0.05) more tolerant compared In maze, remained time open arms longer closed swimming, immobility COvx, protected from gain, improved attenuated depression-like behavior. Phytoestrogens other bioactive compounds may be involved these effects.
