| Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | |
| BSA/glucose | 80.12±1.8 | 82.19±1.4a | 83.11±1.4a | 84.09±1.2a |
| BSA/glucose/CFH (0.30 mg/ml) | 78.88±0.7a | 80.45±0.8b | 82.87±1.1c | 83.92±1.1d |

| BSA/glucose/CFH (1.2 mg/ml) | 76.02±9.9a | 78.64±1.4b | 81.89±1.2c | 82.22±0.9d |
| BSA/glucose/CFH (2.5 mg/ml) | 75.55±1.2a | 77.67±0.8b | 80.37±1.4c | 82.11±1.1d |
| BSA/glucose/CFH (5 mg/ml) | 74.80±0.6a | 76.36±0.7b | 79.08±0.7c | 80.49±0.6d |

Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). ap < 0.05 when compared to BSA/fructose at week 1; bp < 0.05 when compared to BSA/fructose at week 2; cp < 0.05 when compared to BSA/fructose at week 3; dp < 0.05 when compared to BSA/fructose at week 4.
