Obese pigs progressively gained body weight more than lean (A). Plasma insulin levels increased during IVGTT in obese compared to lean pigs at 12 and 16 weeks (B-C). In obese pigs, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and serum triglycerides were elevated at 12 and 16 weeks. In lean pigs, both total cholesterol and triglycerides fell at 16 compared with 12 weeks, while in obese only triglycerides fell, but remained higher than in lean pigs (D-E). Plasma adiponectin levels were similar between lean and obese pigs, but were decreased only in obese pigs at 16 compared with 12 weeks (F). *p<0.05 vs. lean. †p<0.05 vs. 12wks
