Fig 2. VHFD becomes dehydrated, decreasing its palatability.
(A) VHFD in an empty cage lost mass over 7-days. (B) Mass lost correlated with VHFD preference. (C) Dehydrating VHFD decreased preference to consume it. (D) Rehydrating VHFD improved preference to consume 1, 2, or 3-day old VHFD but not 4, 5, 6, or 7-day old VHFD. The dotted line indicates 50% chance. All values represent AVG ± SEM. *p < 0.05, *p < 0.01. d = day, R = Rehydrated.
