Note: Values are means (SD). Data were compared using a repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey contrasts. Values with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05) compared with another groups within the respective week for the given parameter. HF, high fat; HF+Ex, high fat with exercise; HF+Ex+CE, HF with exercise with added vitamin C and vitamin E in the diet; LF, low fat; OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test.
