There were significant differences in diet intake between treatment groups (P≤0.05, Tukey’s test) (Table 2). Dietary intake in
11 journal of functional foods 8C (2014) 9–17
no-DB/control group was higher than in HF groups (P≤0.05
Tukey’s test). Total intake of energy was not different among
the groups (all P>0.05).
There were no significant differences in body weight gain
between control/no-DB and HF group during the Stage 1 (data
not shown). The STZ injection did not affect weight change
among the treatment groups (all P>0.05). The difference in
weight gain between DB/not-treated and no-DB/not-treated
groups (1.35±1.54versus2.53±0.59) did not reach statistical
significance (P>0.05, Tukey’s test).
