  1. NC normal control group, MC model control group, LP low energy low protein group, NP low energy normal protein group, HP low energy high protein group.
  2. Values are the mean ± SD. Mean values of the same sex within a column with different superscript letters (a, b, c, d) were significantly different (P < 0.05).
