Body weights and basal measurements from 12-h-fasted control, safflower oil-fed, and fish oil-fed rats

Basal Measurements	Control	Safflower	Fish Oil
Study 1
Body weight, g	290.1±4.9	352.4±6.5*	349.9±5.6*
Study 2
Body weight, g	312.8±10.5	314.1±10.1	310.5±7.5
Fasting plasma glucose, mM	6.2±0.2	6.6±0.2	6.2±0.2
Fasting plasma insulin, µU/ml	20.3±4.9	25.1±4.2	11.2±4.2†

Values are means ± SE for 10 rats/group. Animals were either held in groups of 5 rats/cage and fed ad libitum (study 1) or singly housed and pair-fed to match body weights (study 2).

^*P < 0.0001 vs. control;

^†P < 0.02 vs. safflower.
