Values are means ± SE. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed differences over time (P < 0.001), differences between groups [nonlactating (n = 4) vs. lactating (n = 5); P < 0.001], and differences due to interaction of group and time (P < 0.001). Different superscripted letters (based on post hoc comparisons) indicate significant difference (P < 0.05).
