Fig. 2From: Opposite effects of low-carbohydrate high-fat diet on metabolism in humans and miceMacronutrient compositions of diets and surveyed food preferences in subjects. (A) Macronutrient compositions of diets. (B) Total energy intake. (C) Total scores of the subjectsNotes: Data are expressed as mean ± SD and the macronutrient content is expressed as a percentage of total energy intake (n = 9 for the MLCD group and n = 13 for the VLCD group). Independent-samples t test and paired t test were used. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001. Figure 2C: Dots on the left side of the vertical axis indicate preference for high-fat foods. Dots on the right side of the vertical axis indicate preference for high-carbohydrate foods. Dots on the vertical axis indicate no preference for eitherAbbreviations: MLCD: moderately low-carbohydrate diet; VLCD: very low-carbohydrate diet; Before: 3 days before the intervention; During: during the intervention (21 days)Back to article page
