Data are represented as mean ± SE. ANOVA analysis: Within each row, means with different superscript (a, b, c) are significantly different at p < .05, whereas mean superscripts with the same letters mean that there is no significant difference at p > .05.

Liver index (%) = (liver weight/body weight) × 100.
