Table 2. Food intake as a function of genotype, sex and housing condition at PD 30–33.

All measurements were taken prior to the introduction E+S or S. Intake values are presented in kilocalorie units per gram body weight. Values in the last column utilized the average from Sh groups for conversion into a percent-change. All data are presented as the mean ± std. error and each value is constructed from 10–12 cages.
