Body weight gain in female rats OVX as adults and given the drug anastrozole to block local estrogen production was significantly higher in females consuming saccharin-sweetened yogurt compared to those consuming glucose-sweetened yogurt (A), while no differences in weight gain were observed in female rats OVX as adults and given the vehicle based on the sweetener consumed (B). In females OVX prior to puberty, weight gain was not affected by the sweetener used when anastrozole was provided (C), but was significantly higher in females given the vehicle and saccharin-sweetened yogurt compared to the vehicle and glucose-sweetened yogurt (D).
