Total 4EBP1 Is Elevated in Liver of Rats in Response to Low Sulfur Amino Acid Intake

Table 2

Weight change and feed intake of rats fed diets differing in sulfur amino acid content.

	Dietary group
	0.23% M/0.35% C; Control	0.11% M/0.35% C	0.23% M	0.11% M
Mean weight change (g/d)	6.9 ± 0.2^a	−1.1 ± 0.7^b	−2.9 ± 1.1^bc	−4.3 ± 0.9^c
Mean feed intake (g/d)	19.3 ± 0.5^a	11.6 ± 0.6^b	10.2 ± 1.2^b	11.9 ± 0.7^b
Feed intake (% of control group)	100 ± 2^a	60 ± 3^b	53 ± 6^b	62 ± 4^b
Met equivalents consumed (g/day)	0.127 ± 0.003^a	0.063 ± 0.003^b	0.023 ± 0.003^c	0.013 ± 0.001^d
Met equivalents consumed (% of control group)	100 ± 2^a	49 ± 1^b	18 ± 2^c	10 ± 2^d

Values are means ± SEM for 4 rats. Values within a row not followed by the same superscript letter are significantly different at 𝑃≤0.05 by ANOVA and Tukey’s comparison.
