In each column, values assigned with different superscript lowercases (letters) indicate significant difference (P < 0.05). In each row of BW and FBG, values assigned with different superscript symbols (diamond symbols) also indicate significant difference (P < 0.05). BW body weight; FBG fasting blood glucose; FINS fasting insulin; IRI insulin resistance index
