(A, B) Total fat mass and lean mass in grams and as a percent of body weight (BW) by DEXA scanning at baseline and weeks 4, 8 and 12 of the experiment. (C) Fat pad weights as a percent of total body weight by dissection and weighing at week 12. (D) Concentration of hepatic triglycerides (TG), nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and glycerol per gram of tissue at week 12. (E, F) Bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) by DEXA scanning at baseline and weeks 4, 8 and 12 of the experiment. Data are expressed as mean±S.E.M. ⁎P<.05, ⁎⁎P<.01, ⁎⁎⁎P<.001.
