  1. Baseline sampling corresponds to the age of 3 months, 1st month sampling to the age of 4 months, 2nd month sampling to the age of 5 months and 3rd month sampling to the age of 6 months. Values are means of 8 rabbits (SD). Statistical significance is indicated with *p < 0.05 vs baseline and † p < 0.001 vs baseline.
  2. All values are presented as Mean (SD)
  3. See Results section for abbreviations
