This table shows the metabolic and phenotypic evolution from 12 till 24 weeks of age of WT (N =13), untreated ob/ob (N =10), untreated DKO (N =13), food-restricted ob/ob (N =32), food-restricted DKO (N =19), ob/ob treated with ACE-I (N =14) and DKO treated with ACE-I (N =16).

* denotes p < 0.05 vs. WT, + p < 0.05 vs. untreated ob/ob and £ p < 0.05 vs. untreated DKO; HW heart weight, BW body weight, Total Chol total cholesterol, HDL high-density lipoprotein, LDL low-density lipoprotein and / = No data available.
