| Percentage of dry body mass | ||
|---|---|---|
| Male | Female | |
| Total dietary lipid (g/kg) | ||
| 80 (reference) | 9.92 ± 0.625 | 9.87 ± 0.856 |

| 1.4:1 (reference) | 11.9 ± 0.804 | 12.3 ± 0.971 |
| 5:1 | 10.8 ± 0.660 | 11.5 ± 0.852 |

Values are percentage mean ± SEM and represent measures obtained at termination of the 16-wk feeding trial. Differences were evaluated with additive effects regression and analyzed separately in males and females. **Different from the reference group (P < 0.01) within each dietary lipid component. NS, P > 0.05.
