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 30^th to 60^th days of life (30-60), from 30^th to 90^th days of life (30-90), or from 60^th to 90^th 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)
