Striped hamsters were subjected to 20% food restriction (FR) followed by refeeding of low-fat diet (Re-LF) and high-fat diet (Re-HF). Glu, glucose; TG, triglycerides; NEFA, non-esterified fatty acid. Data are means ± s.e.m. *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.01; ns, non-significant (P > 0.05). Different letters (a and b) on the same row indicate significant difference between groups (P < 0.05).
