The sucrose concentrations in each column were 0 μg/mL, 50 μg/mL, 200 μg/mL, and 500 μg/mL, respectively. The concentration of stearic acid in each row is 0 mmol/L, 50 mmol/L, 250 mmol/L, and 400 mmol/L. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 30). Values without a common letter are significantly different at p < 0.05
