	Vehicle		HCD		CCGG-1X		CCGG-2X		CCGG-5X
	Mean	SEM	Mean	SEM	Mean	SEM	Mean	SEM	Mean	SEM
Final body weight (g/hamster)	120.4	2.0	130.6	4.2	120.7	3.7	120.5	3.7	109.9**	2.8
Food intake (g/hamster/week)	71.8	6.9	68.5	6.0	66.0	6.5	76.1	9.6	80.6	9.0
Water intake (g/hamster/week)	78.8**	4.2	60.6	3.8	62.1	3.0	59.4	3.3	51.6	2.7
Food efficiency ratio (%)	4.2	0.8	5.4	0.9	4.7	0.9	3.9	1.1	1.2*	0.6

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using the one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s posttest
*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with HCD
Food efficiency ratio = Body weight gain (g)/Food intake (g)
