Table 2. Body weight gain, food intake and tissue weights of rats.

CDA CDR HSDA HSDR Two-way ANOVA
Diet-effect Timing-effect Interaction
Body weight gain, g/28d 137.06±2.73 124.77±3.19 *** 134.11±2.77 133.56±2.66 NS 0.05 0.05
Food intake of d18-20, g 49.26±0.85 47.04±0.93 47.85±1.01 49.05±1.11 NS NS NS
Liver weight, g/100g body weight 3.84±0.05 3.85±0.07 4.45±0.08 4.45±0.10 0.05 NS NS

Each data represents mean ± SEM, n = 20. CDA: control starch diet ad lib.; CDR: control starch diet time-restricted; HSDA: high sucrose diet ad lib.; HSDR: high sucrose diet time-restricted; 0.05 represents for significant changes; NS: not significant. When the interaction is significant, Student’s t test using the residual mean square was performed.

*** indicated the value differed significantly (p<0.001) from the value of CDA group.
