The diets were based on the AIN 93G diet with either high fat with 40% of energy primarily from soybean oil or high sucrose with 66% of energy primarily from sucrose. Low fat and high fat diets contained low whey, low calcium and low vitamin D (LD) or high whey, high calcium and high vitamin D (HD).

Abbreviations are carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1), fatty acid synthase (FAS), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), peroxisome proliferative activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), uncoupling protein (UCP). Data is expressed over LD average for background diet. Statistical analyses compared LD and HD within dietary background (high fat or high sucrose) by two tailed T test.
