  1. *Indicates a statistically significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between the AL and CR groups as determined by unpaired Student’s t-test. Values are mean ± SEM for n=8-12 per treatment group. Body composition (fat, lean and free fluid masses) determined by nuclear magnetic resonance are expressed as both absolute (g, grams) and relative (%) values.
