Table 2.

Nutritional parameters of rats fed the Cry1Ia12 toxin diet compared to those of rats fed the egg white (EW) and nonprotein (NPC) diets.

		Diet*
	NPC	EW	Cry1Ia12
Initial body weight^δ (g)	71.96 ± 3.95^b	70.89 ± 5.72^a	70.98 ± 5.83^a
Final body weight^δ (g)	56.7 ± 1.67^b	110.10 ± 7.66^a	101.31 ± 6.42^a
Daily diet intake^δ (g)	5.11 ± 1.00^b	11.8 ± 1.17^a	11.29 ± 0.84^a
Net Protein Utilization (NPU)^¶ %	—	91.05 ± 3.20^a	90.76 ± 4.81^a
Protein Digestibility^d %	—	91.27 ± 9.71^a	99.98 ± 9.94^a
Biological Value^d %	—	90.67 ± 9.41^a	99.99 ± 9.77^a

Values are means ± standard deviation (n = 6). Values in a row with different letters differ significantly (P < .05).
