The effect of low protein diets on energy balance. (A) feed intake, (B) body weight, (C) mean energy expenditure (EE), (D) mean respiratory quotient (RQ), (E) area under curve (AUC) for EE, (F) AUC for RQ. CON, control diet with 24% crude protein (CP); 18% CP, low protein diet with 18% CP; 12% CP, low protein diet with 12% CP. Among groups, values with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05). The values are means ± standard errors of means. n = 12, n = 12, n = 13 for CON, 18% CP and 12% CP groups, respectively for feed intake and body weight data; n = 7, n = 7, n = 8 for CON, 18% CP and 12% CP groups, respectively for EE and RQ data.
