Table 2.
Mean values and standard deviation for liver lipid content, expressed as milligrams of lipids per gram of liver in normal (G1) and glucose intolerant (G2) animals, either kept in silence (s) or exposed to high-intensity infrasound (i) at different timepoints. No significant effects on the liver lipid content were observed, due to interactions between factors (p = 0.077), infrasound exposure (p = 0.407) or glucose tolerance status (p = 0.938).
