  1. Body weight (BW) and food intake in obesity-prone (OP), obesity-resistant (OR) and HFD-paired rats. The symbol # indicates a significant difference between OP and HFD-paired; between OP and OR; between OR and HFD-paired. Level of significance: #//, P < 0.05; ##/††/‡‡, P < 0.01; ###/†††/‡‡‡, P < 0.001. All tests were done using One-Way ANOVAs, followed by Tukey’s t-test when significant; or Kruskal Wallis test (for non-normally distributed data; indicated by a superscript “a” where performed), followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test when significant.
