¹Mean±SEM. At week 0 and 10, n=12 in the sucrose group and n=11 in the sweetener group. At week 5 n=11 in both groups. Values in the same row with different superscript letters are significantly different (repeated measurements over weeks), P<0.05.

²E%, percentage of energy.

^3–5Significant difference between the sucrose and sweetener groups (ANOVA): ³P<0.05, ⁴P<0.01, ⁵P<0.001.
