Effect of Food Restriction on Adipose Tissue in Spontaneously Diabetic Torii Fatty Rats

Table 1

Changes of fat tissue weights in Fatty Group, Fatty-PF Group, and SDT Group. Visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue weights were determined by computed tomography analysis. Data represent mean ± SD (𝑛=5-6).
