  1. Body weight gain is calculated relative to body weight at the beginning of the treatment. Values are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M of eight animals per group. ANOVA (p < 0.05): S sex effect, D HFD effect, S*D sex and HFD interactive effect and NS non significant effect. Student's t-test (p < 0.05):a HFD vs control, b female vs male.
