Resistance exercise training improves metabolic phenotype in mice. A Weekly body weight (0–9 weeks) (left) and final body weight (right), SED-HF; n = 8, REX-HF; n = 10. B The representative image of whole body in each groups (Scale bar = 1 cm); n = 3 for all groups. C Fat tissue weight (g), SED-HF; n = 9, REX-HF; n = 10. D H&E staining of gWAT and adipocyte size were quantified, n = 3 for each group. E Fat mass/Body weight, F Lean mass/Body weight was measured, n = 3 for each group. Values are presented as mean ± SEM. Significant differences were determined using an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test. *p < 0.05. G Correlations between body weight and grip strength. H Correlations between body weight and hanging time. I Correlations between gWAT weight and grip strength. J Correlations between gWAT weight and hanging time. n = 5–8. Statistical differences and r values were determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
