  1. Determination of body weight (g), fasting glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides levels in control (C) and obese (Ob) rats. Values are represented as the mean ± SD of 8–12 animals per group. Values of *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 and ***p < 0.0001 indicate a significant difference from the C group. The % difference is based on a control value of 100%
