*Inter-group comparisons are not presented due to non-significant overall difference. However, it is worth noting that the mean HBM% of fish oil group is at least 12% higher than the other groups.

Due to adjustments for post-hoc pair-wise multiple comparisons (overall p-value), a p<=0.001 is considered statistically significant.
