Effects of Exercise Training on Molecular Markers of Lipogenesis and Lipid Partitioning in Fructose-Induced Liver Fat Accumulation

Table 3

Body weight, energy intake, sum of intra-abdominal fat pad weights (mesenteric, urogenital, and retroperitoneal), sum of 4 muscle weights (soleus, plantaris, medial, and lateral gastrocnemius), plasma glucose, insulin, and leptin in sedentary (Sed) and trained (TR) rats submitted to a fasting/refeeding protocol. Animals were fed a standard (SD) diet during 7 wks and thereafter were starved for 24 h and fed a SD diet for 24 h and starved for another 24 h and then fed the SD or the high-fructose (HFr) diet 24 h prior to sacrifice at the end of the 8th week.

Values are means ± SE, 𝑛=10 rats/group.
^&&Significantly different from corresponding values under the SD diet, 𝑃<0.01. ⁺Significantly different from Sed rats under the same diet condition, 𝑃<0.05.
