Values are shown as mean ± stdv. p-Values refer to main effects of time and group as well as time*group interactions (two-way mixed ANOVA). Significant effects (p < 0.05) are shown in bold. In case of significant overall time effects, Bonferroni-corrected post hoc analyses were performed individually for groups, whereby asterisks indicate significant differences to pre (t1). *** (p < 0.001); ** (p < 0.01). CON (control group = observation only); RP (recommended protein group); HP (high protein group).
