CG: control group; HG: hyperoxia group; RCDG: refined carbohydrate diet group; RCDHG: refined carbohydrate diet + hyperoxia group. ^aRepresenting significant differences compared to CG. ^a,cRepresenting significant differences compared to CG and RCDG, respectively. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6) and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison post hoc test.
