Values presented as mean ± SD. 9 animals per group. Sedentary control group (C), sedentary obese (Ob), control submitted to resistance training (RT) and obese submitted to RT (ObRT). AUC: area under the curve for glucose; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; T-Chol: total cholesterol; HDL: high-density lipoprotein. ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test. p<0.05. *C vs. Ob; †RT vs. Ob; #RT vs. ObRT; &Ob vs. ObRT.
