The feeding microstructure of male and female mice

Fig 3

Body mass and energy intake responses of group-housed mice to fasting.

A-C. Shown are BW accrual relative to baseline i.e., BW before fasting (dashed lines), recorded at the indicated times after allowing re-feeding of 16hs fasted males and female mice at 10w (A), 20w (B) and 30w (C) of age. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 10, *p<0.05 sex; p<0.01 vs. baseline, F(42,366) = 4.54, p<0.001). D-F. Net energy intake of 16hs fasted mice of both sexes at 10w (D), 20w (E) and 30w (F) of age recorded at the indicated time-points after allowing re-feeding. Results represent mean values ± SEM relative to the net daily energy intake obtained during the fed condition (baseline, dashed lines). G-I. Energy intake adjusted to BW at the indicated time-points after allowing re-feeding of 16hs fated mice of both sexes at 10w (G), 20w (H) and 30w (I) of age. Results are presented as mean values ± SEM. Dashed lines represents daily adjusted energy intake in the fed state [n = 10, *p<0.01 sex; p<0.01 vs. baseline intake, F(28,305) = 3.02, p<0.001].
