  2. P1 represented the P value of ANOVA among the HCP diet, MCPdiet and LCP diet with balancing 10 EAAs.
  3. P2 represented the P value of ANOVA among different amino acid balanced patterns of the LCP diets groups.
  4. a,bSuperscripts indicated differences among different amino acid balanced patterns of LCP diets groups.
  5. x,ySuperscripts indicate differences among different levels of dietary protein
