BW: body weight, SGLT1: sodium dependent glucose transporter 1, SGLT3: sodium dependent glucose transporter 3, GLUT2: glucose transporter protein, member 2, GLUT5: glucose transporter protein, member 5, and NS: not significant.  a–dMeans within a row not bearing a common superscript letter differ (P < 0.05). Data were reported as mean ± SE.
