BW, body weight; RWAT, retroperitoneal white adipose tissue; EWAT, epididymal white adipose tissue.
ab Mean values with unlike superscript letters were significantly different (P<0·05; two-way ANOVA followed by least significant difference (LSD) test).
* Mean values were significantly different from those of the control rats (P<0·05; two-way ANOVA).
# Mean values were significantly different from those of the non-overfeeding rats (P<0·05; two-way ANOVA).
n Numbers of rats.
