Strength Training Reduces Fat Accumulation and Improves Blood Lipid Profile Even in the Absence of Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Condition

Figure 6

Morphometric parameters and histological sections of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and plantaris muscles. CS = sedentary control (n = 5); CT = control submitted to the strength training protocol (n = 5); ObS = sedentary obese (n = 5); ObT = obese submitted to strength training protocol (n = 5). Two-way ANOVA supplemented with the Holm–Sidak post hoc test. : ^dObT vs. CT.
