BMI: body mass index. The BMI was calculated as described in Materials and Methods. The dotted lines correspond to the upper and lower limits of the growth curves. Each point in the curve represents the of all independent experiments carried out in each group of animals (). The differences between the experimental groups with respect to the sedentary group (S) are marked with letter , and differences between ages were determined by comparing each age with its predecessor and are denoted as .
