1All values are mean (±SEM); ( 𝑛 = 1 2 ) except for GLP-1 ( 𝑛 = 1 1 ) because of technical problems.
2Mean values within a row with different superscript letters were significantly different ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ).
3Data was log-transformed prior to statistical analysis and is presented as the geometric mean ± SEM.
