Mean ± standard error (SE). pa-values were derived from one-way ANOVA;
†
variables tested by a nonparametric test (Kruskal-Wallis test). pb-values are pa-values adjusted ~ for age, sex, and weight. After the adjustment, significant changes among the groups are marked with the different alphabet letters (a, b, and c) following Bonferroni post hoc test. All p-values < 0.05 were considered significant.
BMR, basal metabolic rate; PUFAs, polyunsaturated fatty acids; SFAs, saturated fatty acids.
