Data are presented as mean ± SD or n (%). Overall P values for continuous variables determined using ANOVA and for categorical variables determined using chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests. Multiple comparisons among the three groups were calculated using post hoc analysis (Scheffe or Tamhane’s T2 test). NG: negative group; MG: moderate group; TG: ketosis group.
