  1. Values are mean ± SEM, n = 8
  2. a,b,cMeans in the same row with different superscripts differ (P < 0.05)
  3. SFA- sum of saturated fatty acids; MUFA- sum of monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA- sum of polyunsaturated fatty acids
  4. dND means not detected
  5. eThe P values indicate the effects of different dietary starch sources with different amylose/amylopectin ratios by one-way ANOVA and polynomial contrasts- linear and quadratic analyses, respectively
