The values expressed as the () were analyzed by two-way ANOVA at significance level . Different lowercase letters in a row indicates difference due to different protein levels at . Different uppercase letters in a column indicates significant difference due to different Rac levels at . . P%: protein percentage; L%: lipid percentage. C₁: control 1 (35% protein, 6% lipid, and 0 mg kg^-1 Rac); T_1.1: treatment 1.1 (35% protein, 6% lipid, and 10 mg kg^-1 Rac); T_1.2: treatment 1.2 (35% protein, 6% lipid, and 20 mg kg^-1 Rac); C₂: control 2 (30% protein, 9% lipid, and 0 mg kg^-1 Rac); T_2.1: treatment 2.1 (30% protein, 9% lipid, and 10 mg kg^-1 Rac); T_2.2: treatment 2.2 (30% protein, 9% lipid, and 20 mg kg^-1 Rac); C₃: control 3 (25% protein, 12% lipid, and 0 mg kg^-1 Rac); T_3.1: treatment 3.1 (25% protein, 12% lipid, and 10 mg kg^-1 Rac); T_3.2: treatment 3.2 (25% protein, 12% lipid, and 20 mg kg^-1 Rac).
