Figure 4. Sex differences in serum triglycerides and free fatty acids.
Serum was collected at the time of necropsy after a 3hr fast and was analyzed for serum triglycerides and free fatty acids. Briefly, males had significantly higher serum triglycerides compared to novx-female and ovx-female+E; however, males had significantly lower serum free fatty acids compared to all other groups. Panel A: *Significantly different compared to novx-female and ovx-female+E2 within the high-fat diet groups, p<0.05 (n=8). Panel B: *Significantly different compared to novx-female and ovx-female+E within the low-fat diet groups, p<0.001 (n=8). **Significantly different compared to all others within the high-fat diet groups, p<0.001 (n=8).
