Values are mean and pooled SEM, n = 6
Data in the same row with no or the same letter indicate no significant difference (P>0.05), while with different letters mean significant difference (P<0.05)
Abbreviations: GHRL, ghrelin; GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-1; CCK, cholecystokinin; LEP, leptin; INS, insulin
The P values indicate the effects of dietary steviol glycosides mixture supplementation with different levels by one-way ANOVA and linear and quadratic analyses, respectively
^abcMeans in the same row with different superscripts differ (P < 0.05)
