Abbreviations: C−, not vitamin C–supplemented diet; C+, vitamin C–supplemented diet; CTR, control diet; FBR, fibrous diet.

P < 0.05 was considered significant.

¹n = 192 for fiber level and vitamin C effects and n = 96 for the interaction.

²n = 16 for fiber level and vitamin C effects and n = 8 for the interaction.
