Body composition, energy intake and OGTT results after 30 weeks.

Data presented as mean ± SEM for lean controls (n = 11), and diet-induced obese rats after 8 weeks on Western (n = 12), low carbohydrate (low CHO) (n = 12), and moderate carbohydrate (moderate CHO) diets (n = 12). Comparisons were made either between control and Western diets or between Western, low CHO and moderate CHO diets by one way ANOVA with post-hoc testing using Fisher's least significant differences test. ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001 Western vs control diet; # p<0.05, ## p<0.01, ### p<0.001 versus Western diet; † p<0.05, ††† p<0.001 vs low CHO diet. AUC = area under curve. OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test.
Footnote: The difference between body weight and the sum of lean and fat tissue was attributed to skeletal mass and gut contents, both of which gave a low MRI signal.
