Gravimetric characteristics of mice with 20 weeks of normal and high-fat diet with or without exercise training.

Parameter	ND (n = 8)	HFD (n = 8)	HFDEX (n = 8)	NDEX (n = 8)
Body Weight (g)	26.7 ± 0.57	35.6 ± 2.13 *	35.2 ± 1.04 *	27.2 ± 0.43
Heart Weight (mg)	124 ± 5.92	137 ± 6.82	146 ± 7.01	125 ± 3.43
HW/TL (mg/mm)	6.87 ± 0.35	7.81 ± 0.31	8.23 ± 0.38	7.08 ± 0.18
Fasting Glucose (mg/dL)	162 ± 9.13	213 ± 13.5 *	182 ± 13.5 #	136 ± 10.4

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. ND = normal diet, HFD = high-fat diet, HFDEX = high-fat diet with exercise training, NDEX= normal diet with exercise training, HW = heart weight, TL = tibia length. * P < 0.05 versus ND. # P < 0.05 versus HFD.
