Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for each gene (results are presented as arbitrary units versus cafeteria group, except detailed). The T test was used to determine statistical differences highlighted as * p < 0.05 vs. cafeteria treatment; # p < 0.1 vs. cafeteria group. Lipe (lipase E, hormone sensitive type).
