Fig. 2.

Changes in body composition during a 5-month intervention. (a) Weight (g) was measured with a scale, while for the (b) lean body mass (g) [relative to body weight, BW (g)], and (c) fat mass (g) [relative to BW (g)] rats were anaesthetized and measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. In the panels, * indicates significant change within group during intervention, pre vs. post value, linear mixed model,* p < 0.05; ** 0.01 > p ≥ 0.001; *** p < 0.001. # indicates significant difference as compared with ctrl-group, # p < 0.05, ## 0.001 < p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001, GLM.
