AIN - composition recommended by the American Institute of Nutrition AIN-93G diet (normolipidic and normocaloric); HF - hyperlipidic/hypercaloric and hypercaloric diet with added lard; HFHS - hyperlipidic, hyperlipidic and hypercaloric diet with increased concentration of soybean oil and sucrose; HFHF - hyperlipidic and hyperlipidic, high-fat and hypercaloric diet with increased concentration of soybean oil and added fructose.

a

The carbohydrates ingredients in the diet were changed according to the addition of soybean oil; and soybean oil was changed according to the sucrose and fructose content.

b

Calorie content of the diet was estimated by protein and carbohydrate content multiplied by 4 and lipids by 9.
