Table 2.

Effects of ileal transposition (IT+) and control surgery (IT−) in rats on a high-fat (HF), high-carbohydrate (HC), or a high-protein (HP) diet on body weight and carcass constituents. Main effects of surgery and diet are indicated with p values or with non significance (ns). Lean body mass effects were not assessed with ANOVA, because of lack of normal distribution. IT effects were tested separately in diet groups. Between-diet group could not be assessed (na) for lean body mass
