The effects of MR on energy balance in adult rats were examined in two cohorts of 16 rats beginning at 6 months of age. Rats were provided the Control or MR diets for 3 months or 6 months thereafter. BW, body composition, and food consumption were determined as before after 3 and 6 months in cohorts of 8 rats per group prior to measurement of EE as before. The effects of Diet, Diet Duration, and Time of Day on EE were assessed by ANCOVA as in Experiment 1.
