Tissue weights in CAS, WHEY and PEA old rats after 16 weeks of different diets.
| CAS | WHEY | PEA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plantaris (mg) | 309 ± 34 | 300 ± 23 | 263 ± 0.17 |
| Soleus (mg) | 175 ± 20 | 173 ± 24 | 165 ± 13 |
| Gastrocnemius (g) | 1.52 ± 0.29 | 1.19 ± 0.13 | 1.13 ± 0.06 |
| Quadriceps (g) | 1.94 ± 0.26 | 1.78 ± 0.27 | 1.72 ± 0.24 |
| Hindlimb muscle mass (g) | 8.82 ± 0.51 | 8.01 ± 0.88 | 7.36 ± 0.61 |
| Perirenal adipose tissue (g) | 11.7 ± 2.6 | 15.3 ± 1.4 | 19.7 ± 4.6 |
| Subcutaneous adipose tissue (g) | 11.9 ± 2.3 | 13.3 ± 2.0 | 12.2 ± 2.4 |
| Liver (g) | 13.7 ± 0.9 | 14.3 ± 0.9 | 13.2 ± 1.7 |
| Heart (g) | 1.91 ± 0.05 | 1.88 ± 0.08 | 1.96 ± 0.08 |
Results are given as means ± SEM. Hindlimb muscle mass is the sum of plantaris, soleus, gastrocnemius, quadriceps and tibialis muscle weights.
