Comparison of FAA, PPA, NA and FA between groups on different days (in terms of before dropout).

(a): FAA was lower in the HS group than the rest on the second last and the last day in the ABA cage/model (significant on the last day (p < 0.01)). (b): PPA was higher in the HS group than the rest on the second last and the last day in the ABA cage (second last day: HS significantly higher than MS (p < 0.05) but not NS; last day: HS significantly higher than both MS and NS (p < 0.01). (c): NA was higher in the HS group on the second last day than the NS group and the MS group (p < 0.01) and was not the highest in the HS group on the last day (sample mean difference insignificant). (d): FA was the lowest in the HS group on the last day in the ABA cage (significantly lower than the MS group, p < 0.01). For more detailed graphical representation of the overall data, two data points were not shown (but included in the statistical analysis) in figure 5D (one in second last day of NS and one in last day of NS, valued 814 and 704, respectively). NS: non-susceptible group, MS: moderately-susceptible group, HS: highly-susceptible group, PPA: postprandial activity, NA: nocturnal activity, FAA: food anticipatory activity, FA: feeding activity; *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01 (analysis of variance, Tukey's post-hoc tests).
