For fat mass, designated by '*', there was a main effect of group (p < 0.05). Means with different superscripts are significantly different using Tukey-Kramer's post-hoc analysis (p = 0.04) as evaluated by a 3 × 2 ANOVA. RG = Response Group; BMI = body mass index; FM = fat mass; NEFA = non-esterified fatty acids
