Values are expressed as mean±standard deviation (n=3).
Means with different letters within the same column are significantly different (p<0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple range test.
TAA, total amino acids.
EAA/TAA, ratio of essential amino acids (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine) to total amino acids.
BCAA, branched-chain amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, and valine).
SAA, sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine).
