¹All values are least-square means and pooled SEs. Treatment effects were evaluated by using a mixed-model ANOVA (with fixed effects of period and treatment and a random effect of volunteer) for n = 18 participants in a crossover design. Mean values within a row with different superscript letters are significantly different (P ≤ 0.05).
