Notes.

Data expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis: two-way ANOVA, p-values for diet (D) or sex (S); ns = p > 0.05. No significant differences were found for the interaction between diet and sex. Bonferroni’s post-hoc test statistical significance, established at p < 0.05, is represented by different superscript letters.
