Figure 2. Changes in metabolic parameters after 4 weeks activity in the rest phase.

Figure 2

Mean (±SEM) body weight gain (A,C), and abdominal fat weight (B,D) of control (n = 8) and rats exposed to forced activity during their rest phase (ARP) or during their activity phase (AAP) (n = 6 per group) and rats with restricted food during the rest phase (FRP) or during their activity phase (FAP) (n = 9 per group). All groups showed a similar daily pattern of food consumption); however, ARP and FRP rats increased their body weight (A,C) and attained a higher accumulation of abdominal fat (B,C) while AAP rats remained at similar values as controls. (P<0.001). Statistical analyses were performed with a Tukey multiple comparisons post hoc test.
