^aThere were seven hamsters in each group.

^bValues that were significantly different or approaching statistical significance are shown in boldface type.

^cStatistically significantly different from the value for hamsters fed 0% GSL (P < 0.05) by ANOVA.

^dThis value was statistically significantly different from the value for hamsters fed 0% GSL (P < 0.01) and from the value for hamsters fed 1% GSL (P < 0.01) by ANOVA.

^eApproaching statistical significance compared to the value for hamsters fed 0% GSL (P < 0.1) by ANOVA.
