Data are expressed mean ± SEM (n = 5 rats/group). #p < 0.05 PD group compared to NC group. *p < 0.05 L, AP-32, RM, and A-RM groups compared to PD group. $p < 0.05 RM and A-RM groups compared to AP-32 group. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. BW, Bodyweight; FCE, Food Consumption Efficiency (an increase of BW/total calorie intake).
