¹ 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). ² Control rabbits versus obese rabbits (with hyper caloric and hyper lipidic rich diet). ³ BMI: Body Mass Index.
