^†Using serum values from baseline, each animal served as its own control. Data are presented relative to baseline as fold change. All data were log-transformed prior to statistical analysis.

^aIndicates significantly increased or decreased fold-change between the diet group shown and baseline at P<0.05.

^bIndicates fold-change values that are trends but missed the significant cutoff (P>0.05, P<0.10).
