Food intake did not differ between groups, indicating that the supplementation of BCAA did not change the rats’ food consumption. Similarly, Shimomura [16] and Araujo, Jr. [34] who also administered BCAA to rats through diet, found no differences between the groups in relation to food intake. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in the final weights between groups (338 ± 17 g), indicating that the supplemented diets (S1 and S2) had no effect on the final weight of the animals.
