The present study investigated effects of the physical form of the diet on food intake, growth,
and body composition in male C57BL/6 mice. Three-week-old mice were fed isocaloric diets …

Rats weighing 110 to 150 g or 250 g initially were utilized in five experiments to determine
the effect of the form of the diet (dry versus liquid) and the pattern of feeding (meal-feeding …

The relative feed intake, feed efficiency and carcass characteristics of growing pigs and mice
were studied to determine the value of the mouse as a pilot animal in pig nutrition research …

The effect of cyclic periods of underfeeding and overfeeding on body composition and
energy efficiency was investigated in adult female CD1 Swiss mice. Four groups of mice …

Weanling male Osborne-Mendel (OM) rats fed, for 10 weeks, a nutritionally complete ration
containing 60%(w/w) of a vegetable shortening deposited 285±20 kcal in their carcasses for …

Ninety-day-old male and female rats of the Wistar strain were force-fed a liquefied diet twice
daily for a 2-week experimental period. The amounts fed corresponded to ad libitum intakes …

ABSTRACT Young (70 g) male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed one of four diets for 28 d to
determine the effects of replacing dietary fat with a noncaloric substitute. Fat contributed …

Three paired-feeding experiments were conducted to determine the effect on growth,
metabolism, and body composition of rats fed one or five meals daily. Each experiment, with …

The effect of varying dietary macronutrient content on the body composition of AKR/J and
SWR/J mice was examined. Dietary fat was fed at three levels (45, 30, and 15 kcal%), while …

The influence of restricted meal frequency on body composition and energy utilization has
been investigated in male weanling rats. Two groups of rats were fed equivalent amounts of …
