¹ HM has 1.0 μg/kg of AFB1 and 2258 μg/kg of DON on average for phases 1 and 2, and 44.6 μg/kg of AFB1 and 4635 μg/kg of DON for phase 3. AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CPK, creatine phosphokinase. ^a,b Means with different superscripts differ (p < 0.05). ^X,Y Means with different superscripts tend to differ (0.05 ≤ p < 0.10).
