Dietary compositions (grams per kg). Equivalent amounts of casein, L-]cystine, sucrose, dyetrose (a version of dextrose used by the manufacturer which allows the diet to be easily pelleted), and vitamin and mineral mixtures were included in all diets. Slight variations in corn starch and cellulose were necessary to make the diets as nearly isocaloric as possible. Total kcal/kg was slightly lower in the PFO and 50:50 MCT:PFO diets.
