Altered Feeding Patterns in Rats Exposed to a Palatable Cafeteria Diet: Increased Snacking and Its Implications for Development of Obesity
Figure 7
Percentage snacking at 5 weeks correlated with terminal body weights of cafeteria-fed rats.
Mean snack number plotted against mean percentage snacking (panel A), and terminal body weight plotted against mean percentage snacking (panel B) in chow (open circle) and cafeteria-fed (closed square) rats at 5 (left), 10 (middle) and 15 (right) weeks of diet. Outliers in the cafeteria-fed group (the three lightest rats in this group) were excluded from the analyses. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis.
