Experiment 2 Means, Standard Deviations, and F-tests comparing BER Rats (N = 6 rats) to BEP Rats (N = 9 rats) before and after Ovariectomy

Adult Baseline OVX OVX Main Effect BER/BEP Main Effect OVX by BER/BEP Interaction
Palatable Food F(1,87) = 18.99 p < .001 F(1,25) =31.24 p < .001 F(1,87) = .25 p = .619
    BER M (SD) 4.76 (1.33) 6.79 (1.80)
    BEP M (SD) 7.25 (1.26) 8.34 (1.57)
Chow F(1,92) = 1.88 p = .173 F(1,25) = .32 p = .577 F(1,92) = .06 p = .805
    BER M (SD) 5.32 (1.52) 5.89 (1.60)
    BEP M (SD) 5.05 (1.81) 5.44 (1.14)
Body Weight F(1,117) = 135.12 p < .001 F(1,10) = .01 p = .936 F(1,117) = .39 p = .535
    BER M (SD) 208.42 (16.94) 255.92 (19.24)
    BEP M (SD) 209.76 (13.78) 251.80 (18.89)

Note. BER = binge eating resistant; BEP = binge eating prone. PF and chow intake were measured at the 4-hour time point, while body weight was measured at 24 hours. PF intake, chow intake, and body weight were all measured in grams. Results exclude the six sham surgery rats.
