  1. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 8). Differences among groups have been determined by ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc analysis. Values in the same row with different superscripts are significantly different
  2. E epididymal, PR perirenal, M mesenteric, HFS high fat, high sucrose, RSV resveratrol, PT pterostilbene
