HOMA-IR homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, ISI insulin sensitivity index determined according to Matsuda and DeFronzo (Matsuda & DeFronzo 1999), AUC total area under the curve.

*P = 0.0001, significantly different from Western diet group; **P ≤ 0.006, significantly different from EX group; ***P ≤ 0.05, significantly different from EX group; ****P ≤ 0.05, significantly different from Western diet group
