Food intake behaviors are programmed by early-life Na depletion. A: 24-h average rate of food intake vs. age. B: food intake corrected for fat-free mass (FFM; males 17.67 g, females 15.03 g) and fat mass (males 5.27 g, females 3.79 g) by general linear modeling (GLM). C: average meal size vs. age. D: average number of meals per day (n/d) vs. age. E: average rate of food consumption within a meal vs. age. For all panels, 0.04% n = 6 male + 8 female vs. 0.30% n = 8 male + 8 female, and data presented as means ± SE. A and C–E analyzed by 2-way repeated-measures ANOVA followed by Šídák's multiple comparisons test (*P < 0.05). B analyzed by GLM.
