Figure 1

Body weight of male and female rats that consumed a C, HF or HP diet from weaning until 14 wk of age and were then switched to a HFHS diet for 6 wk. Results are presented as mean ± SE, n = 10 per group. Panel A provides the longitudinal measures of body weight in male rats that consumed C, HF or HP diet from weaning (3 wk) until young adulthood (14 wk). Panel B provides body weight for male rats when switched to HFHS diet for 6 wk until 20 wk of age. Panel C provides longitudinal body weight in female rats that consumed C, HF or HP diet from weaning (3 wk) until young adulthood (14 wk). Panel D provides body weight for female rats when switched to HFHS diet for 6 wk until 20 wk of age. In all Panels, the * represents a difference (p < 0.05) between HF versus C and HP at the indicated time point. The † represents a difference (p < 0.05) between HF and HP.
