Diet B-Diet A: Difference of Acetone Buildup Concentration between Diet B and Diet A.

Diet C-Diet A: Difference of Acetone Buildup Concentration between Diet C and Diet A.

Diet B-Diet C: Difference of Acetone Buildup Concentration between Diet B and Diet C.

“%” indicates the percentage difference between acetone buildup concentration of:

1) Diet B with respect to Diet A, taking Diet A as reference: [(Diet B – Diet A) / Diet A] x 100;

2) Diet C with respect to Diet A, taking Diet A as reference: [(Diet C – Diet A) / Diet A] x 100;

3) Diet B with respect to Diet C, taking Diet C as reference: [(Diet C – Diet B) / Diet C] x 100.

“**” indicates: Significant difference for p = 0.05, “*” indicates: No significant difference for p = 0.05.
