Doctoral Dissertations

The effect of diet restriction, exercise and aging on body weight, epididymal and perirenal fat pad weights, liver and adipose lipogenesis and lipolysis in male Wistar rats were investigated. The study consisted of four experimental groups: ad libitum fed, sedentary (A) ; diet restricted by feeding on alternate days, sedentary (R) ; ad libitum-fed, exercised by swimming on alternate days (AE) ; diet restricted by feeding on alternate days, exercised by swimming on alternate days (RE) .
