Table 4.
The results of two-way ANOVA with SPSS for measured factors. When the interaction was not significant, we compared the “diet effect” via independent samples T-test and “stress-number effect” via Duncan's new multiple range test; for the case, these effects were significant (P < 0.05). The nonsignificant parameters were not reported. The letters a, b, and c indicate significant differences among treatments exposed to different stress numbers.
