  1. ND = normal diet fed ad lib during periods of weight maintenance or weight gain
  2. RS = resistant starch diet fed ad lib during periods of weight maintenance or weight gain
  3. NDWL = normal diet fed during periods of weight loss
  4. RSWL = resistant starch diet fed during periods of weight loss
  5. AIN 76 = concentrations in the standard American Institute of Nutrition 1976 Rodent Diet
  6. Concentrations are mean ± SE N = 8 for all values
