Data are mean ± standard deviation of log-transformed values for each dietary group at each time point (n = 6). Pairwise comparisons were performed between all groups (n = 6) at week 2 and at week 8 of feeding treatment, respectively. Different letters indicate a statistically significant difference (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc comparisons tests, P <0.05)
