Figure 2

Energy intake of male and female rats that consumed a C, HF or HP diet from weaning until 14 wk of age and were then switched to a HFHS diet for 6 wk. Results are presented as mean ± SE, n = 5 per group. Panel A provides the energy intake in male rats measured daily for a week every two weeks throughout the study. Rats were switched from their weaning diet (C, HF or HP) to HFHS at 14 wk of age and consumed it until study completion at 20 wk of age. Panel B provides the energy intake in female rats measured for daily for a week every two weeks throughout the study. In Panel A, the * represents a difference (p < 0.05) between HP versus HF and C. The † represents a difference (p < 0.05) between HF versus HP and C. The § represents a difference (p < 0.05) between HP versus HF. In Panel B, the * represents a difference (p < 0.05) between HP versus HF and C. The † represents a difference (p < 0.05) between HF versus HP. The § represents a difference (p < 0.05) between HF versus C.
