Item	CON2	LF3	SEM	P
IGF-1, μg/L	7.2	7.5	0.4	0.464
COR4, μg/L	103.5a	92.2b	5.2	0.048
DAO5, pg/mL	179.5a	163.4b	5.9	0.022

¹Values means n = 6 for CON and LF groups.

²CON = basal diet with dry feeding.

³LF = basal diet with liquid feeding.

⁴COR = cortisol.

⁵DAO = diamine oxidase.

^a,bMeans within a row lacking a common superscript differ at P < 0.05.
