Effects of high-iron feeding on the body weight, food intake, energy intake, and food efficiency ratio of rats. Five-week-old, male, SD rats were fed one of six diets, which varied only in their iron and copper content for 5 weeks ad libitum. Final body weight (A), delta body weight (the final body weight after dietary feeding─the initial body weight) (B), daily delta body weight (C), food intake (D), energy intake (E), and food efficiency ratio (F) were measured. The results are presented as means ± SDs; n = 10 per individual group. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test for further comparisons. L low; Ad adequate; H high
