Table 5. Pearson correlation coefficients (r) calculated between plasma adipokines and body weight, TAS, TOS and OSI during the period from 4 to 40 weeks, for the groups A (no supplementation), B (supplemented with 0.5% of the total diet composition starting at 4 weeks-old until 40 week-old), C (supplemented with 1% of the total diet composition starting at 4weeks-old until 40 weeks-old) and D (supplemented with 1% of the total diet composition starting at hatch until 40 weeks-old).
Values of r and significance of the correlations are indicated on the table. Correlations were considered as significant if P < 0.05.
