¹ P1 indicates phase 1, P2 indicates phase 2, P3 indicates phase 3; H = stepwise high energy and protein diet, C = stepwise standard energy and protein diet, L = stepwise low energy and protein diet. ² SEM = standard error of means. ³ Diet = the effect of diets, Phase = the effect of phases, D × P = the interaction between diet and phase, lowercase letters are marked only when the interaction was significant. ^a,b values within the same row with different superscripts differ.
