Body weight gain, food intake, FER and lipid profiles of rats^1,2)

¹⁾Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n=8).

²⁾Values in a column with different superscripts are significantly different, p<0.05.

³⁾NS is not significant.

⁴⁾Food efficiency ratio (FER)=body weight gain (g/d)/food intake (g/d).

⁵⁾LDL cholesterol was calculated by the method of Friedewald WT formula.

⁶⁾AI (Atherogenic Index)=(Total Cholesterol-HDL-Cholesterol)/HDL-Cholesterol.
