Data are mean ± s.e.m. n = 8 males per dietary group. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test, or Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunns multiple comparison test where appropriate. All differences (as denoted by a different subscript letter) represent statistical significance at P < 0.05.
