a)
Values represent the median and IQR. Differences between dietary intervention groups (n = 8 per group) were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis tests. No significant differences were found between groups.
b)
Compliance = days compliant/study duration. Compliance with the study diet was based upon deviation from the expected restrictions and recorded as yes/no. Yes meant that the subject met all diet requirements for the day. No meant that the subject was non-compliant ≥ 1 time per day. All compliance data was self-reported.
