Although serum urea concentrations and muscle enzyme activities (LDH and CK) exhibited numerical trends approaching significance ( p < 0.10), all values remained within normal physiological ranges, potentially reflecting subtle modulation of nitrogen and energy metabolism.

Although serum urea concentrations exhibited a decreasing trend from the control group to the degossypolized cottonseed meal group (T3), and both LDH and CK activities showed numerical variations among treatments, these differences did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.14 and p = 0.08, respectively). 3.4.
