It is mentioned that repeated measure anova may be very similar to split-plot design: Is a "split plot" ANOVA with two factors the same as two-way ANOVA with repeated measures in one factor?

Is it possible to use following split plot analysis to the last example (rat liver glycogen vs food) of anova on this page: http://www.personal.psu.edu/mar36/stat_461/split_plot/split_plot.html

cv(a) = 1.3 %, cv(b) = NA %, cv(c) = NA %, Mean = 138.8542
The output seems all right though the P value are different.
