Body weight and adiposity in DIO and DR rats (n = 8–9/genotype through day 77, n = 9/genotype from day 111 to study completion). Absolute (g) fat pad and whole carcass fat (g) values reflect the estimated marginal means from ANCOVA in which body weight was a covariate. Percentage (%) fat pad and whole carcass percentage (%) fat values reflect the raw, uncorrected fat pad masses expressed as a percentage of body weight. Values are means ± s.e.m.
