Average ± standard error from three separate replicates. Values with different lower-case letters in the same line are significantly different at p < 0.05 as determined by Duncan’s test. Total essential amino acids = sum of Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, and Valine. Total = sum of 17 amino acids. Total metabolites = sum of Citrulline, β-Alanine, γ-Amino-n-butyric acid, Ethanolamine, Ammonia, 1-methylhistidine.
