Effect of instant cascara (IC) beverage on the evolution of body weight and on the solid and liquid intake of rats of both sexes. The evolution of body weight (A) and the overall mean solid (B) and liquid (C) intake by each experimental group are shown. These parameters were recorded in the four experimental groups, distributed according to sex and the administered beverage (IC or water): Males-Control, Males-IC, Females-Control, and Females-IC. Data represent mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean). N = 12 animals per group (cohort 1). Sex-dependent statistically significant changes: ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001, #### p < 0.0001 (Females-Control vs. Males-Control); $$ p < 0.01, $$$ p < 0.001, $$$$ p < 0.0001 (Females-IC vs. Males-IC). Beverage-dependent statistically significant changes: **** p < 0.0001 (Males-IC vs. Males-Control); + p < 0.05 (Females-IC vs. Females-Control). (A): Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post-hoc test. (B,C): One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post-hoc test.
