In the Animals and diets subsection of the Materials and Methods, there are errors in the first through third sentences of the second paragraph. The correct sentences are: Experimental diets were formulated by modifying American Institute of Nutrition (AIN)-93G diet [25] as summarized in Table 1. All diets contained 64 g/kg food-grade soybean oil and 10 g/kg food-grade corn oil to provide essential fatty acids.
