Fat mass in the different compartments in the chemical carcass analysis group

Compartment	PCA	Sham
Whole body fat mass, g	26.7±1.4	61.2±2.0^a
Fat/body weight, %	12.1±0.5	18±0.6^a
Visceral fat mass, g	13.9±0.8	25.7±1.6^a
Visceral fat/body weight, %	6.3±0.2	7.6±0.6^a
Nonvisceral fat mass, g	13.0±1.1	35.5±2.2^b
Nonvisceral fat/body weight, %	5.9±0.5	10.4±0.5^a,d
Visceral fat/nonvisceral fat (ratio)	1.12±0.1	0.75±0.1^c

Values are means ± SD of 8 animals in each group. ^aP < 0.0001, ^bP < 0.001, and ^cP < 0.05 between PCA and sham rats. ^dP < 0.05 between visceral fat/body weight and nonvisceral fat/body weight in sham animals.
