Germinated brown rice ameliorates obesity in high-fat diet induced obese rats

Table 1 Energy distribution in percentage of each diet in the experiment

Type of diet¹	Normal diet²	HFD	HFD + 25 % GBR	HFD + 50 % GBR	HFD + 100 % GBR
Protein (kcal%)	27.0	13.0	13.0	12.0	10.0
Carbohydrate (kcal%)	64.0	35.0	35.0	36.0	38.0
Fat (kcal%)	9.0	52.0	52.0	52.0	52.0
Total energy (kcal/100 g)²	389.74 ± 1.11^a	560.13 ± 4.17^b	532.58 ± 9.91^c	528.63 ± 4.51^c	544.30 ± 4.03^d

Values with different superscripts in a row indicate significant difference (p < 0.05) by Duncan’s multiple range tests
