Body composition changes in C57BL/6 mice (n = 6 or 7 per group) fed the pelleted or powdered diet ad libitum or pair-fed the powdered diet to the level of intake of the pellet-fed mice

			Powdered diet
		Pelleted diet	Ad libitum feeding	Paired-feeding
AIN93G	Fat mass:body mass (%)	28.06 ± 1.85^b	36.10 ± 0.90^a	26.78 ± 2.53^b
	Lean mass:body mass (%)	61.51 ± 1.58^a	54.77 ± 0.81^b	62.12 ± 2.25^a
	Total body water:body mass (%)	52.00 ± 1.33^a,b	46.66 ± 0.79^b	53.14 ± 2.31^a
Wheat-supplemented	Fat mass:body mass (%)	27.19 ± 2.08^b	34.14 ± 1.55^a	31.02 ± 1.47^a,b
	Lean mass:body mass (%)	61.96 ± 1.59^a	56.59 ± 1.42^b	58.86 ± 1.11^a,b
	Total body water:body mass (%)	52.20 ± 1.47	48.09 ± 1.20	50.02 ± 1.15

One-way ANOVA and Tukey contrasts were performed. Within a row, means with different superscripts are significantly (P ≤ 0.05) different.
