Table 1 Biological parameters of the lean and obese rats used in this study

Littermate phenotype	Lean (8)	Obese (9)
Final body weight (g at 9-10 wk)	230 ± 21	312 ± 16b
Visceral WAT weight (g)	1.8 ± 0.3	8.9 ± 1.4c
Subcutaneous WAT weight (g)	2.5 ± 0.3	13.4 ± 1.6c
Plasma levels
Insulin (UI/mL)	37 ± 2	178 ± 46b
Glucose (mmol/L)	7.7 ± 0.2	8.6 ± 0.2a
Triacylglycerols (mmol/L)	0.7 ± 0.2	1.5 ± 0.1b

Significantly different from each corresponding value in lean at:

^aP < 0.05.

^bP < 0.01.
