aFluid I and Food I: fluid and food intake expressed as mL and g/rat/24 h, respectively; BWG: body weight gain expressed as g/18 week.
^bData are presented as 𝐹 values and the levels of significance (𝑃). NS: no significant effect.
^cThe effect of V_end and Mg_end in combination (V_end + Mg_end effect) < or > sum of the effects of V_end and Mg_end alone (V_end effect + Mg_end effect) (antagonistic or synergistic interaction, resp.).
