  1. NC: normal control group, MC: model control group, LP: calorie-restricted low protein group, NP: calorie-restricted normal protein group, HP: calorie-restricted high protein group. 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).
