Table 3b.

Effect of APP on body weight, food intake and feed efficiency in rats for 5 weeks.

Group	Initial body-wt. (g/rat)	Final body-wt. (g/rat)	Food intake (g/day/rat)	Feed efficiency (%)
B	93 ± 11^a	294 ± 44^a	15.4 ± 2.1^a	37.1 ± 3.4^a
NC	93 ± 9^a	292 ± 41^a	15.3 ± 1.9^a	37.0 ± 4.7^a
L	93 ± 8^a	323 ± 24^a	16.5 ± 1.1^a	40.0 ± 2.8^a
H	93 ± 8^a	316 ± 16^a	15.9 ± 0.9^a	40.0 ± 2.6^a
PC	94 ± 7^a	291 ± 51^a	15.4 ± 2.0^a	36.4 ± 6.7^a

Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 10).

Feed efficiency = (Body weight gained/Total feed intake) × 100.

Values in the same column sharing common superscript small letter showed no significant difference (ANOVA, p > 0.05).

B, normal group; NC, negative control group; L, low-dose group; H, high-dose group; and PC, positive control group.
