Significant correlations between energy and nutrient supply and averaged blood and liver values on both examination dates (only shown if correlation was significant over at least three out of six supply phases, therefore no correlation coefficients or further distinction between p-values are given (p ≤ 0.05 for all correlations); pos = positive correlation; neg = negative correlation)).
