  1. Control rats (C), rats treated with palatable hyperlipidic diet (H) and rats treated with food cycles alternating chow and palatable hyperlipidic diets (CH). The animals received these diets from 30th to 60th days of life (30-60), from 30th to 90th days of life (30-90), or from 60th to 90th days of life (60-90). Values are means ± standard error of the mean of 10 animals. Values in the same row with different superscript letters are significantly different from one another at p < 0.05 (Tukey's test)
