Data presented as mean ± SD. Body weight and weights of liver, epididymal adipose tissue (Vis-Fat), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were measured at 4 and 10 weeks of age after overnight fasting. A P value of one-way ANOVA is shown. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, ***𝑃<0.001 versus WKY, ^†𝑃<0.05, ^††𝑃<0.01, ^†††𝑃<0.001 versus SHR. 𝑛=5 at 4 weeks of age or 6 at 10 weeks of age in each strain.
