Significant associations between resistance and consumption are highlighted in boldface type. Parameter estimates (PE), standard errors, degrees of freedom (DF), t values, and P values were obtained by fitting a linear mixed model for repeated measures. The fixed-effects estimates shown here represent the estimated means for the random intercept and slope. See the Materials and Methods section for more detailed information.
