Body composition of old rats after six weeks of diet.
| Diets | Casein | SMP | F-Pasta | L-Pasta | P-Pasta |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ∆BW (%) | −2.3 ± 1.8 b | 5.6 ± 2.6 a | 2.9 ± 1.4 a | 2.7 ± 1.5 a | 0.9 ± 0.8 ab |
| ∆FM (%) | −8.7 ± 4.3 b | 14.9 ± 7.8 a | 3.6 ± 3.0 ab | 1.2 ± 6.4 ab | −3.6 ± 3.4 b |
| ∆LM (%) | 0.3 ± 1.7 | 4.5 ± 1.3 | 4.4 ± 1.6 | 5.1 ± 1.0 | 3.3 ± 1.3 |
Results are expressed as means ± SEM. Means sharing the same letters i.e., a or b, within a line are not significantly different (p > 0.05). F-pasta = faba bean-enriched pasta; L-pasta = lentil-enriched pasta; P-pasta = split pea-enriched pasta; SMP = soluble milk proteins; ∆BW = bodyweight gain; ∆FM = fat mass gain; ∆LM = lean mass gain.
