Values shown represent the average ± S.E. expressed in mg/dL. ^a,bValues followed by different letters in superscript present significant differences among the different time points for 𝑃<0.05. Note: SCG: sedentary control group; ECG: exercise control group; STG: sedentary tucumã group; ETG: exercise tucumã group; S.E.: standard error; 𝑛: number of animals evaluated per group.
