Feed and water intake (mean ± SD) were recorded in some of the mice from each treatment group kept in metabolic cages for 24 h at age 9–11 weeks, after they were getting accustomed to the cages the day before. There were no consistent significant differences in feed and water intake between Apc Min/+ and Apc +/+ mice, or between 0.9% NaCl- or PhIP-treated mice, and therefore these data were pooled. F = females, M = males, and n = number of mice.
