| TG, mmol/L | 0.41 b | 0.66 a | 0.34 b | 0.14 | 0.002 |
TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein associated cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein associated cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; CON, control group; HS, heat stressed group; PF, pair-fed group. Different superscript letters indicate significant differences among treatment groups in a row (p < 0.05).
