  1. Data are mean ± S.E. (n = 10).
  2. Values are significantly different from the CS group according to Student's t test: *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001.
  3. FER : Food efficiency ratio = body weight gain/food intake; B.W., Body Weight
  4. CS, commercial shortening; LC, low trans structured fat from corn oil
