Figure 1. Effects of prior FTR training on a) body weight loss and b) reduced fluid intake induced by DSS.
While DSS induced significant weight loss beginning at Day 5 (signified by *), there were no time x intervention x treatment (p = 0.14) or intervention x treatment (p = 0.09) interactions. DSS reduced fluid intake beginning at Day 4, but there was no difference between FTR and SED (p = 0.88 for interaction). N’s = 9, 10, 10 and 10 for SED/H2O, FTR/H2O, SED/DSS, FTR/DSS, respectively.
