Fig. 2.

Effects of dietary fat on body weights over time. Rats fed the 21% fat diet (n = 24) are represented by a dashed line, whereas rats fed the 6% fat diet (n = 24) are represented by a solid line. Rats dosed with 70 nmol daily vitamin A (VA) are represented by a solid triangle, whereas rats dosed daily with 17 nmol VA are represented by an open square. Values are means ± SD of 12 rats per treatment per week. * P < 0.05 comparing 6 versus 21% dietary fat; indicates the first week that a significant difference was observed; differences were maintained throughout the study duration (Fat × week P < 0.05 week 5, P < 0.05 weeks 6 to 11).
