The amount of food ingested was determined daily per cage by obtaining the difference in weight before and after each measurement; The data are average values for 6 animals/group; The letters show significant statistical differences as follows: a with respect to the control value, and b with respect to value in group treated with B[a]P. Analysis of variance and Tukey-Kramer tests (a ≤ 0.05).
