Epid. Fat: epididymal fat; Retro. Fat: retroperitoneal fat; Visc. Fat: visceral fat; total Fat: total body fat; Adipos. I: adiposity index; C. control; OB. obese; OR. calorie-restricted obese; OS: obese with 25 µg T₃/100 g BW; ORS: calorie-restricted obese rats with 25 µg T₃/100 g BW. Data expressed as mean ± standard deviation. ANOVA was utilized, complemented by Bonferroni's test.
