1 OGTT = Oral Glucose Tolerance Test evaluated at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min. 2 Significances: ns: not significant; **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001. The parameters in each row (for males and females) not followed with the same superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). 3 Control rabbits versus obese rabbits (with hyper caloric and hyper lipidic rich diet).
