Values are expressed as mean ± SEM; Parenthesis indicates the sample size. CON, control; HFHS/OR, obese-resistant mice fed a high-fat high-sucrose diet; HFHS/OP, obese-prone mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; *P < 0.05 versus CON, +P < 0.05 versus HFHS/OR.
