Values are mean ±SE; n=8-10 animals per group. L-SED, LETO-sedentary; O-SED, OLETF-SED; MOD EX, moderate intensity exercise training; VIG EX, vigorous intensity interval training; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein; TNFα, tumor necrosis factor α; IL, interleukin. Fat pad mass was determined by summing the weights of the omental, retroperitoneal, and epididymal fat pads. Values with different letter superscripts are significantly different (p<0.05).
