Data are presented as mean ± SEM. P‐values from Student's t‐tests are presented unadjusted for multiple comparisons, and P‐values ≤0.5 are considered statistically significant. P NBW and P LBW: O versus C diet within each birth weight group, P C and P O: LBW versus NBW individuals within each diet, P Δ: LBW versus NBW individuals on response values. P‐values ≤0.05 are marked in bold. P‐values on intervention effects are presented here for the first time. Details on the measurements have been described in previous articles (Brons et al. 2013, 2015).
