Values are presented as means ± SD (n = 9 for 0 h and n = 6 for the remaining times). P-values from two-way ANOVA (p ≤ 0.05). If interaction was significant, Tukey post hoc test was used to identify differences in the experimental treatments. Different capital letters indicate differences in time regardless diets.
