Figure 3. Changes in body temperature of rats in response to feeding of soft or control pellets. (A) Body temperature immediately increased in both groups after the start of a meal. (B) Differences in body temperature from the basal level at the start of the meal expressed as a percentage above the basal level at 10:00 hrs. Body temperature in the soft-fed rats was significantly lower compared with controls at 47, 48, 49, 55, and 57 min after the start of the meal. The results are means ± SEM. n = 5 for both groups.
