Data (fold changes) are presented as the mean ± SD. n = 4–8 for each group. Con, Con+T, LPHF, LPHF+T, HPHF, and HPHF+T represent chow diet, chow diet plus training, low-protein high-fat diet, low-protein high-fat diet plus training, high-protein high-fat diet, and high-protein high-fat diet plus training, respectively. Feed, training, and interaction indicate a dominant effect of diet, treadmill exercise, and the interactive effect between feed and training, respectively. n.s., no significance was observed. * p < 0.05, and ** p < 0.01. Significance of differences between means was determined by Tukey’s post hoc test when ANOVA revealed a significant effect from interaction of diet and training.
