Table 1. Energy assimilation in Pept1+/+ and Pept1−/− animals on low-protein (LP = 8% energy from protein), control (C = 21% energy from protein) or high-protein (HP = 45% energy from protein) diet.

Group Genotype Sum of energy intake(kJ) Sum of energy excretion (kJ) Sum of energy assimilation (kJ) Energy difference over 5 days (kJ)
LP Pept1+/+ 387.23 27 360.23 7.62
Pept1−/− 379.6 26.66 352.61
C Pept1+/+ 409.98 29.83 380.15 28.36
Pept1−/− 382.08 30.29 351.79
HP Pept1+/+ 351.53 25.16 326.37 71.05
Pept1−/− 276.08 20.76 255.32

The given values are the sum of the 5 day lasting feeding trial. Energy calculations of Pept1+/+ and Pept1−/− animals on low-protein (8% protein energy), control (21% protein energy) and high-protein (45% protein energy) diet for 5 days were analyzed (n = 10). Data are presented as sum of energy intake, energy excretion and energy assimilation over 5 days of feeding the diets.
