A Percent of body weight gained by young and aged rats following 3mo of HFD consumption. Serum levels of (B) fasting glucose and (C) fasting insulin and D) protein levels of IL-1beta in visceral adipose tissue in young and aged rats following 3mo of HFD consumption. E Percent of body weight gained by young and aged rats following 3d of HFD consumption. Serum levels of (F) fasting glucose and (G) fasting insulin and (H) protein levels of IL-1beta in visceral adipose tissue in young and aged rats following 3d of HFD consumption. **p < 0.01; ****p < 0.0001
