Figure 1

Fat digestibility during wk 3 and 4 of feeding male weanling rats diets containing 22% cocoa butter or safflower oil. Columns represent means ± SDs, . Labeled means without a common letter differ, (1-factor ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple-comparison test). Diet groups: LZ-CB, low-Zn (LZ) cocoa butter (CB) diet fed free choice; HZ-CBR, high-Zn (HZ) CB diet fed in restricted amounts equivalent to intake of the LZ-CB diet; LZ-SF, LZ safflower oil (SF) diet fed free choice; HZ-SFR, HZ-SF diet fed in restricted amounts equivalent to intake of the LZ-SF diet; HZ-SF, HZ-SF diet fed free choice.
