	Control, n = 15	Cont + swim, n = 15	HCHF, n = 15	HCHF + swim, n = 15
Base line weight (gm)	97.1 ± 1.6^a	97.7 ± 3.7^a	89.5 ± 6.1^a	101 ± 11.0^a
Weight gain (gm)	145.8 ± 7.0^a	128 ± 8.3^b	274 ± 9.6^c	223 ± 9.2^d
% of weight gain	49.26	31.9	206	120.79

Values are expressed as mean ± standard error (SE). n denotes number of rats in each group. Different letters (superscripts a, b, c, d) indicate statistical differences (one-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey test. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant)
