The food consumption and body weight of different time points from the intact rats (sham) and the ovariectomized rats (OVX) in different diet groups are summarized. Values are mean ± SE. The significant differences across all conditions (diets and surgical procedures) were determined by one‐way ANOVA and p values are indicated in the last column. In case no statistical significance (NS) was found, then no multiple comparison was performed. Significance is recognized when p < 0.05, and superscript letters indicate the least significant difference test. Values that do not share the same superscript letters are significantly different.
