Impact of NPD, LPD and MD-LPD on testicular telomere length (as determined by the T/S ratio) (A). Correlation of body weight to T/S ratio in all males (B) and individual dietary groups (C). Correlation of gonadal fat weight to T/S ratio in all males (D) and individual dietary groups (E). Testicular telomerase activity (F). Data are mean ± s.e.m. n = 8 males per dietary group. Data were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test, or Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunns multiple comparison test where appropriate. Correlations were analysed using Pearsons correlation. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
