Average daily protein (‘PRO/d’, A) and kilocalorie (‘kcal/d’, B) intake over the 30-day daily gavage feeding of 1 human equivalent dose (1.1 g/d, ‘low’), 3 human equivalent doses (3.4 g/d, ‘medium’), and 6 human equivalent doses (6.8 g/d, ‘high’) of the WPH-based supplement as well as water only (‘water’). All data are presented as mean ± SE and daily averages are presented numerically above each bar. As expected, average protein intakes over the 30-day intervention (subfigure A) were as follows: high > medium > low = water (p < 0.01 denoted by different letters above each bar). Interestingly, energy intakes were significantly lower in the high condition relative to the low and water conditions (p-values presented above bars).
