  1. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 7). The significance of p < 0.05 is indicated by lowercase letters indicating a difference between the groups.
  2. aReferring to the control group.
  3. bReferring to the high-fat diet group.
  4. cReferring to a diet rich in fat + ω-3 group.
  5. dReferring to a high-fat diet + physical exercise group.
  6. eReferring to a diet rich in fat + ω-3 + aerobic physical exercise group.
  7. fReferring to a high-fat diet + chia group.
  8. gReferring to high-fat diet + chia + physical exercise group. The Two-Way ANOVA test was used to compare the means. with the Tukey post-test.
