Organ weights (g)
Liver	4.59±0.07	4.82±0.06	4.73±0.09
Epididymal WAT	0.79±0.08a	0.55±0.06b	0.57±0.04b
Perirenal WAT	0.25±0.02	0.22±0.02	0.23±0.02

Data are the mean±SE, n=10.

^abMeans in the same row not sharing a common superscript are significantly different between the groups at P<.05.

FER, food efficiency ratio=body weight gain/food intake; WAT, white adipose tissue.
