^aMicronutrients were added to the diets in the form of AOAC vitamin mix (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) (10 g/kg) and Bernhart-Tomarelli mineral mix (Harlan Teklad, Madison, WI) (50 g/kg). The diets contained approximately 25, 34, and 41% of total energy derived from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively.
