Low-Intensity Exercise Routine for a Long Period of Time Prevents Osteosarcopenic Obesity in Sedentary Old Female Rats, by Decreasing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress and Increasing GDF-11

Table 2

Comparison of body composition and GDF-11. Body composition and GDF-11 concentration were compared in exercised and sedentary animals from 8-24 months of age.

Variable	Sedentary 8-24 months	Exercise LIERLT 8-24 months	Probability
BMI			0.165
Strength			0.0003
Creatinine			0.0007
GDF-11			0.031
%FFBFM			0.021
%Fat			0.019
%BMC			0.014

The values represented the of independent experiments (). Comparisons were made using a Student -test. The differences between the experimental groups with respect to the sedentary group are marked, and the significance is specified.
