Diet Effects on Mice Weight Gain

Very Easy Research Summaries Interpreting Results

Researchers wanted to compare the effects of two different diets on the weight gain of mice. They divided 20 mice into two groups: Group A was fed Diet 1, which was high in protein, while Group B received Diet 2, which was high in carbohydrates. After four weeks, the researchers recorded the weight gain of each mouse.

At the end of the experiment, Group A (high protein) had an average weight gain of 10 grams, while Group B (high carbohydrates) had an average weight gain of 5 grams. The researchers noted that all mice were similar in initial weight.

Based on the results, which conclusion can be drawn from this study?

Mice gain more weight on a high-protein diet than on a high-carbohydrate diet.

Carbohydrates are more effective than protein for weight gain in mice.

Both diets lead to the same weight gain in mice.

Initial weight does not affect weight gain on either diet.
