Table 2. Within-group comparisons in salivary responses to a baseline water stimulus, repeated presentations of a habituating lemon-flavored lollipop stimulus and a novel green apple-flavored lollipop stimulus in weight loss maintainers (WLM), normal-weight (NW) and obese (Ob) participants.

	WLM (n=14)		Ob (n=15)		NW (n=18)
	M ± s.e.m.	P-value	M ± s.e.m.	P-value	M ± s.e.m.	P-value
Baseline salivation to water stimulus at block 0	1.3 ±0.2		1.1 ±0.2		1.7 ±0.2
Change in salivation to habituating stimulus from block 1 to block 5	−1.2 ±0.3	0.002	−0.3 ±0.2	0.46	−0.8 ±0.3	0.001
Change in salivation to novel stimulus from block 5 to block 6	+1.9 ±0.3	0.001	+1.9 ±0.4	0.001	+2.1±0.4	0.001

Note that the significance tests were conducted on adjusted within-group change scores from the linear mixed model using Bonferroni's correction.
