The LPD decreased the body weight, fat weight and lower-limb muscle weight of Wistar fatty rats. (a) Total body weight during the experimental period (n = 6). (b) Fat weight and (c) lower-limb muscle weight after the 24-week dietary intervention (n = 6). (d) Mean food intake during the experimental period (n = 6). (e) Mean blood pressure after the 24-week dietary intervention (n = 6). The data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). ap < 0.01, STD-fed WFRs versus WLRs or LPD-fed WFRs at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks. * p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 for the indicated comparison. n.s.: not significant
