| Blood glucose (mmol/L) (14 weeks) | 8.54 ± 1.26 | 8.29 ± 0.84 | 32.27 ± 1.84∗# | 31.26 ± 0.98∗# |
| Body weight (g) (14 weeks) | 30.25 ± 1.86 | 31.26 ± 1.69 | 18.69 ± 2.13∗# | 26.13 ± 1.85∗#$ |
| Food consumption (g/kg/d) (14 weeks) | 135.36 ± 11.20 | 138.29 ± 9.80 | 383.35 ± 18.96∗# | 358.23 ± 24.56∗# |
