Femur mineral concentrations: P values for 2-way ANOVA

Metal	Diet Effect	Weight Cycling Effect	Diet/Weight Cycling Interaction
Ca	p < 0.05	NS	NS
Cu	NS	NS	NS
Fe	NS	NS	p < 0.01
Mg	p < 0.0001	NS	NS
Mn	NS	NS	NS
Zn	NS	p < 0.01	p < 0.01

NS = p ≥ 0.05

Results are for the right femur

Diet Effect = normal diets versus resistant starch diets

Weight Cycling Effect = 0, 1, or 2 rounds of weight cycling
