Final (a) body weight and (b) food intake of 6-month old SHAM and OVX rats randomized to diets with flaxseed oil or menhaden oil. A significant main effect of hormone status was observed for final body weight (* denotes a difference between both SHAM groups versus both OVX groups, p < 0.05). Within rats receiving a diet with flaxseed oil, rats randomized to OVX (424.67 ± 65.22 g) had significantly greater final body weight compared to SHAM (348.92 ± 57.51 g) (a versus b denotes a difference between these two groups fed flaxseed oil, p < 0.05). Within rats receiving a diet with menhaden oil, the body weight of rats randomized to OVX (422.17 ± 47.05 g) was not significantly different compared to SHAM (390.83 ± 75.82 g). No differences were observed among groups for food intake over the final week of the study period. All data are expressed as Mean ± SD.
