Mouse animal and diet characteristics for intervention studies that compared LGI and HGI diets. The key information from each article using mice is shown. - denotes missing data. Approximate (~) starting weights are taken from graphs a. Carb, carbohydrates; HGI, high glycaemic index; LGI, low glycaemic index; E, energy; n, sample size; AP, amylopectin; AL, amylose; M, male; DS, digestible starch; RS, resistant starch; F, female.
