  1. Morphometric profile of SHR vs. SHR-Lx rats. The significance levels are indicated as follows: a, b, c…p <0.05 and 0.01 and 0.001, respectively for differences between SHR and SHR-Lx under conditions of a single diet; †…p <0.01, respectively, for RA effect within individual strain. Values are shown as mean ± S.E.M.; b.wt….body weight; EFP…epididymal fat pad; RFP…retroperitoneal fat pad.
