pgWAT, perigonadal white adipose tissue; rWAT, retroperitoneal adipose tissue; BAT, brown adipose tissue; TA, Tibialis anterior; EDL, extensor digitorium longus. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. n = 7 NC-males, n = 8 NC-females, n = 7 HF-males, and n = 6 HF-females. ∗P < 0.05 when compared to NC group (same sex); #P < 0.05 when compared to male mice (same diet), post hoc Bonferroni-corrected t-tests when a statistical significance was detected by two-way ANOVA model.
