Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis scoring

Parameter Control LG HG Diet (P value) Diet × percentage body fat (P value)
Temporomandibular Composite score 7.0 ± 0.4 8.6 ± 0.5 8.4 ± 1.7 0.16 0.77
Cartilage degeneration 2.7 ± 0.3 3.4 ± 0.3 2.9 ± 1.1 0.56 0.96
Safranin-O loss 4.2 ± 0.3 5.2 ± 0.6 5.5 ± 0.9 0.10 0.67

Comparisons with control values or between low gainer (LG) and high gainer (HG) high-fat diet-fed groups were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).
