^a-c

Means with different subscripts within a row are significantly different at P < 0.05

^x-y Means with different subscripts within a column are significantly different at P < 0.05

EPA – eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA – docosahexaenoic acid; BHA – butylated hydroxyanisole; GSE – grape seed extract; SEM – standard error of the mean
