  1. Note: t0, t7, and t12 indicate data measured before the experiment, at the 7th week and at the end of the experiment, respectively. The NC, HF, PSEL, PSEM and PSEH groups are described in Fig. 1. The data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. *P < 0.05 vs. NC, **P < 0.01 vs. NC, ΔP < 0.05 vs. HF, ΔΔP < 0.01 vs. HF.
