^*Means are average of 10 observations for treatments and 20 observations for sexes. Data presented as mean ± SEM.
^{a,b,c & x,y}Means with different superscripts between dietary treatments and sexes, respectively differ significantly at P < 0.05.
Abbreviations: SFA, saturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
