1 This column presents the mean value of high-fat groups from the contrast between low-fat group and four high-fat groups

2 The low-fat group is excluded from the statistical analysis of fat sources

3 Each treatment contained 8 replicates (n = 8)

* Significant differences between fat levels are marked with an asterisk in the low-fat column (P ≤ 0.05)

a–d Significant differences between the fat sources are marked with different superscripts (P ≤ 0.05)
