Table 2.

Comparison of various tissue weights among the rats that were fed the complete (ad lib-fed), complete (pair-fed), and vitamin B₁-free diets.

	Complete diet (control diet)		Vitamin B₁-free diet
	ad lib-fed	pair-fed	Vitamin B₁-free diet
Initial body weight (g)	36.9 ± 0.6	36.8 ± 0.7	36.7 ± 0.9
Final body weight (g)	126.9 ± 2.5^a	64.5 ± 0.5^b	61.4 ± 2.5^b
Body weight gain (g/15 days)	90.0 ± 1.9^a	27.7 ± 0.6^b	24.7 ± 1.9^b
Food intake during the urine collection (g/days)	16.2 ± 0.4^a	3.7 ± 0.2^b	3.6 ± 0.1^b

Lung (g)	0.86 ± 0.02^a	0.59 ± 0.03^b	0.56 ± 0.03^b

Notes: Values are means ± SEM for five rats. Values within the same row that do not share the same superscripted letters are significantly different by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparison tests (P < 0.05).
