Evolution of body composition during HCD and HFD feeding.

<p>The evolution of body adiposity vs. body weight is shown in the top panel, visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio in the middle panel, and subcutaneous and visceral fat pad weights in the lower panel. The 24 rats have been sorted into groups according to whether they were in the upper (sensitive) or lower (resistant) half of rats by adiposity gain under HCD (carbohydrate resistant or sensitive; CR or CS) and/or HFD (fat resistant or sensitive FR or FS). So for example, “CS,FR” means rats that were in the upper half of adiposity gainers while under HCD, and in the lower half under HFD. In the top and middle panels, each arrow path represents a single rat, and the black point-line the mean of the arrows. In the lower panel, error bars are of group SEM. Note that each adiposity group has 6 rats; such a neat sorting was not intentional, but is instead an indication of how loose the link is between adiposity gains under HCD and HFD.
