1Nutrient intakes were based on 3-day food records (n = 30). Statistical analysis included ANOVA with effects for treatment, genotype, and treatment-genotype interaction. The values in this table represent the treatment comparison; 2AA-MF and GMP-MF did not contain trans fat nor cholesterol; Kruskal–Wallis test was used when data were skewed; AA-MF, amino acid medical food; GMP-MF, glycomacropeptide medical food; MF, medical food; NF, natural food; PE, protein equivalent.
