¹Values presented as means ± SEs unless otherwise indicated. Peak and AUC values were first calculated for each participant and averaged across participants, using ANOVA for among group analyses for peak value and AUC. AUC, area under the curve; HSD, honestly significant difference test; NA, not applicable; vs., versus.

² P values from pairwise comparisons are adjusted with Tukey's HSD.
