Growth and food intake data [mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM)] of control rats (C) and rats treated with rapamycin (RAPA)

	C	RAPA
Weight gain (g)	113.6 ± 1.9	60.2 ± 1.4*
Length (cm)	35.1 ± 0.2	32.4 ± 0.1*
Longitudinal growth rate (μm/day)	549 ± 13	279 ± 17*
Foot intake (g)	287.5 ± 3.4	227.8 ± 2.6*
Food efficiency (g/g)	0.40 ± 0.01	0.26 ± 0.00*

Food efficiency was calculated as grams of gained weight divided by grams of consumed food
