Effect of calorie restriction on visceral adipose tissue ^†.

Group	Visceral Fat Mass [g] #,*	Visceral Fat Mass [%] *,Δ
AL	16.47 ± 3.76	3.29 ± 0.48
CR1	12.08 ± 3.71 a	2.51 ± 0.68 a
CR2	6.72 ± 2.61 a,b	1.79 ± 0.69 a,b

^† Abbreviations: AL: ad libitum; CR: calorie restriction; * Data was presented as arithmetic mean ± 1 S.D. n = 12 for each group; ^# Visceral Fat Mass [g] = total perirenal adipose tissue [g] + total peri-epididymal adipose tissue [g] [20]; ^Δ Visceral fat mass [%] = Visceral fat mass/Body weight × 100; ^a p < 0.05 versus AL group; ^b p < 0.05 versus CR1 group.
