Abstract

The effects of cafeteria feeding on body composition metabolizable energy (ME) intake and energy expenditure of young Spraque Dawley rats obtained from two different colonies (Spraque Dawley rats) (Charles River Kent UK) (SDCR) and Spraque Dawley rats (Queen Elizabeth College UK) (SDQEC) were analysed. There was a significant change in body weight and body fat in the latter but not the former. The mild hyperphagia induced a significant increase (P0.01) in energy expenditure in cafeteria-fed rats compared to their respective controls. The results showed the presence of intra-strain variations and reaffirm the validity of the carcass comparative technique for estimating energy expenditure in rats
