Means with different superscripts in the same row differ significantly (P < 0.05).

Diet 1: 6% palm oil (negative control); Diet 2: PO and SO blend (4% palm oil and 2% sunflower oil) + 0.25% L-Arg (positive control); Diet 3: (PO and SO blend + 0.25% L-Arg + 20 mg/kg Vit E); Diet 4: (PO and SO blend + 0.25% L-Arg+ 50 mg/kg Vit E); Diet 5: (PO and SO blend + 0.25% L-Arg + 100 mg/kg Vit E); and Diet 6: (PO and SO blend + 0.25% L-Arg + 150 mg/kg Vit E).

SEM, standard error of the means.
