*2.10. 72-h Cumulative Intake of Simultaneously Presented CM- and GM-Enriched Chow in Adult Rats*

First, the animals were accustomed to receiving two types of chow pellets (room temperature) simultaneously in a subdivided hopper in their homecage (placement of pellets was random) for circa 2 h per day on two days. On the experimental day 1 (17:00), animals received a choice of either standard/CM chow (*n* = 9), standard/GM chow (*n* = 10), or GM/CM chow for 72 h (pellets were exchanged daily; *n* = 16). Cumulative 72-h intakes were recorded in grams. This feeding experiment was conducted in a separate cohort of animals.
