Tissue mass relative to body weight in high fat diet fed mice

Relative Mass, mg/g body wt	SED	TR	SED	TR	P Value
Adipose tissue	30.33 ± 1.14	28.29 ± 2.11	34.97 ± 1.58	28.29 ± 1.08	*P = 0.038 †P < 0.001
Skeletal muscle	2.75 ± 0.04	2.63 ± 0.09	2.48 ± 0.08	2.95 ± 0.03	‡P = 0.015 #P = 0.023 §P < 0.001

Data are presented as means ± SE (n = 16–22, except muscle n = 3–4). White adipose tissue is composed of epididymal and inguinal subcutaneous, skeletal muscle was represented by soleus, extensor digitorum longus, and plantaris, as these muscles can be removed tendon to tendon to ensure complete removal.

SED, sedentary; TR, training.
