a
Different letters within a row denote significant differences (P < 0.05).
b
Values represent the mean of six replicates (n = 6).
c
LA = basal diet + 0.5-g/d PCP; HA = basal diet + 1-g/d PCP; SEM, standard error of mean.
GLU, glucose; UN, urea nitrogen; TP, total protein; Alb, albumin; GSH, reduced glutathione; POD, peroxidase; DPPH, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. Different letters within a row denote significant differences (P < 0.05).
