¹Values (mean ± SE) in the same row with different superscript letters (a, b, c) are significantly different (P < 0.05 ~ 0.0001). Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons of the lactating women compared with the control group of women (P < 0.01) and a repeated measures analysis of Greenhouse-Geisser adjustment for asphericity for 4 different time points comparison for the lactating women.
