  1. Values are Mean ± SE based on wet organ weight, n = 14 for all tabular values except that n = 8 for femur copper.
  2. Inferential statistical analyses of these data by 2-way ANOVA are provided in Table 5 for the right femur and Table 6 for the lumbar vertebrae.
  3. ND0 = normal diet with no weight cycling
  4. ND1 = normal diet with 1 round of weight cycling
  5. ND2 = normal diet with 2 rounds of weight cycling
  6. RSD0 = resistant starch diet with no weight cycling
  7. RSD1 = resistant starch diet with 1 round of weight cycling
  8. RSD2 = resistant starch diet with 2 rounds of weight cycling
