Parameters | Light intensity (lx) | SEM | p-value |
5 | 20 | 35 | 50 |
TG (mg/dL) | 43.82a | 36.65ab | 35.15ab | 30.36b | 3.091 | < 0.05 |
GLU (mg/dL) | 242.05 | 244.11 | 244.66 | 246.60 | 6.734 | 0.972 |
AST (U/L) | 306.88 | 300.13 | 291.33 | 301.51 | 17.550 | 0.938 |
ALT (U/L) | 2.67 | 2.73 | 2.57 | 2.59 | 0.140 | 0.847 |
CREAT (mg/dL) | 0.230b | 0.234ab | 0.244a | 0.246a | 0.004 | < 0.05 |
Means in same rows with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05).
TG, triglyceride; GLU, glucose; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; CREAT, creatinine.
