                         using data from the SPIDER survey (La Barbera et al., MNRAS 
                         408:1313, 2010). We model each galaxy with two components (dark 
                         matter halo + stars), exploring different assumptions for the dark 
                         matter (DM) halo profile, and leaving stellar mass-to-light (M*=L) 
                         ratios as free fitting parameters to the data. For a Navarro et 
                         al. (ApJ 462:563, 1996) profile, the slope of the total mass 
                         profile is non-universal. For the most massive and largest ETGs, 
                         the profile is isothermal in the central regions (~Re=2), while 
                         for the lowmass and smallest systems, the profile is steeper than 
                         isothermal, with slopes similar to those for a constant-M=L 
                         profile. For a concentration-mass relation steeper than that 
                         expected from simulations, the correlation of density slope with 
                         mass tends to flatten. Our results clearly point to a non-homology 
                         in the total mass distribution of ETGs, which simulations of 
                         galaxy formation suggest may be related to a varying role of 
                         dissipation with galaxy mass.",
