Table 1

General characteristics of the experimental groups.

Characteristics	C	A	SW	A + SW
Initial BW (g)	234 ± 3	232 ± 4	234 ± 4	235 ± 2
Final BW (g)	527 ± 17^ab	549 ± 20^b	486 ± 30^a	484 ± 15^a
Epididymal; fat pad (g)	4.60 ± 0.49^b	5.25 ± 0.47^b	2.78 ± 0.43^a	2.98 ± 0.39^a
Liver (g)	13.2 ± 0.6	13.9 ± 0.9	12.6 ± 1.2	11.7 ± 0.4

Values are means ± SEM. C: vehicle treatment with sedentary control (𝑛=6); and A: aging induction with sedentary control (𝑛=6); SW: vehicle treatment with swimming exercise (𝑛=5); A + SW: aging induction with a 12-week swimming exercise (𝑛=6). Data represent mean ± SEM. Values that have a different superscript letter (a, b) differ significantly with each other (𝑃<0.05).
