Feed and metabolic efficiency of group-housed mice in responses to fasting.
A-C. Feed efficiency (FE), calculated as the ratio between the changes in body weight (ΔBW) and the net energy intake (ΔkCal) recorded at the indicated times after allowing re-feeding in 16hs fasted male and female mice at 10w (A), 20w (B) and 30w (C) of age. D-F. Metabolic efficiency (ME) calculated as the inverse of FE at the indicated times after allowing re-feeding of 16hs fasted male and female mice of 10w (D), 20w (E) and 30w (F) of age. Results represent the mean ± SEM (n = 10, *p<0.05 males vs. females).
