^aExperimental diets were a corn-soybean meal based diet (CON), CON + 8% soybean oil (HF), HF + medium dose of branch chain amino acids (BCAAs, 0.11% leucine, 0.06% isoleucine and 0.22% valine; HF-MB), and HF + high dose of BCAAs (0.22% leucine, 0.12% isoleucine and 0.44% valine; HF-HB). Control diet contained no soybean oil (CON). ^bSFA Saturated fatty acids. ^cMUFA Monounsaturated fatty acids. ^dPUFA Polyunsaturated fatty acids
