Table 2. Feed intake and growth during the 4-week experimental period.
| Low sn-2 PA | Medium sn-2 PA | High sn-2 PA | P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food intake (g/3d per rat) | 16.9 ± 1.1 | 16.2 ± 0.6 | 17.7±1.2 | 0.28 |
| Initial body weight (g) | 98.6 ± 7.8 | 93.6 ± 6.6 | 94.1 ± 5.4 | 0.15 |
| Finial body weight (g) | 285 ± 39.3 | 280 ± 40.5 | 257 ± 52.5 | 0.26 |
| Dry weight stool (g/3d) | 4.29 ± 0.45 | 3.83 ± 0.35 | 3.96 ± 0.56 | 0.06 |
| Epididymal fat (g) | 1.86 ± 0.47 | 1.80 ± 0.35 | 1.69 ± 0.24 | 0.54 |
| Perirenal fat (g) | 1.80 ± 0.49 | 1.75 ± 0.30 | 1.61 ± 0.44 | 0.52 |
The results are the mean ± SD of 12 animals per group. P values were determined by one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
