From: Sexual dimorphism in the molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance during a critical developmental window in Wistar rats

	Adult rats		p20 rats
	Male	Female	Male	Female
Body weight (g)	289.7 ± 4.9	290.3 ± 1.1^ns	50.0 ± 0.1	49.7 ± 0.2^ns
Peripancreatic fat (g)	0.874 ± 0.03	0.804 ± 0.02^ns	0.047 ± 0.007	0.039 ± 0.005^ns
Gonadal fat (g)	3.22 ± 0.07	3.43 ± 0.06^ns	0.07 ± 0.008	0.06 ± 0.005^ns
Gastrocnemius muscle (g)	1.22 ± 0.06	1.22 ± 0.05^ns	0.16 ± 0.01	0.14 ± 0.02^ns

Data expressed as mean ± S.E.M., n = 30 for body weight and n = 5 for tissue weight, groups were compared between sex by unpaired t-student test. Statistical significance was considered for P values < 0.05. ns = not significantly different with respect to weight in males
