^{a, b}^{, c} Within a row, means without out a common superscript differs (P ≤ 0.05) or tends to differ (P ≤ 0.10) between treatments.

T0, T1, T2 and T4 represents supplementation of polymethacrylate (Eudragit L-100) nanocapsules loaded with curcumin (N-CU) at 0, 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg concentrate, respectively.
