Bodyweight at endpoint, body weight-to-square body length, relative organ weight, faecal output and energy intake.
| Control Group | Baked Cod Group | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bodyweight at endpoint, g | 548 ± 32 | 566 ± 20 | 0.17 |
| Body weight-to-square body length without tail ratio, kg/m2 | 9.8 ± 0.6 | 10.3 ± 0.4 | 0.062 |
| Relative liver weight, g/100g body weight | 4.5 ± 0.9 | 4.0 ± 0.6 | 0.11 |
| Relative thigh muscle weight, g/100 g body weight | 0.30 ± 0.04 | 0.29 ± 0.03 | 0.58 |
| Relative amount of WAT 1, g/100 g body weight | 7.4 ± 0.6 | 7.4 ± 0.5 | 0.97 |
| Faecal output, g dry weight/24 h | 2.8 ± 0.9 | 2.9 ± 0.9 | 0.76 |
| Energy intake, kcal/kg bodyweight/24 h | 266 ± 33 | 269 ± 51 | 0.91 |
Values are mean and standard deviations, n = 9 in Control group, and n = 10 in Baked Cod Group. p < 0.05 were considered significant. Groups are compared using Independent Samples t-test assuming equal variances. 1 The sum of epididymal, renal and retroperitoneal white adipose tissue from depots on right and left sides of the rat. WAT; white adipose tissue.
