Extra energy intakes were given to rats in groups O and G in order
to investigate whether carbohydrate supplements without interfering
in sports load and free food intake would prevent EAMD.
The target of extra energy intake in groups O and G were about
30% of average energy intake of free regular diet. For example,
started from 7th week, the target extra energy intakes were
72.38 kJ and 66.59 kJ for rats in groups O and G, respectively.
