Male C57BL/6 mice compensate for periods of fasting by increasing their food intake and gaining weight at rates similar to mice fed AL. Shown are the average daily food intakes (calculated from 14-day intake) (a) and body weights (b) in mice maintained on one of four feeding regimens: AL, IF, PF, and LDF (40% reduction in calories relative to AL-fed). IF body weights are postfeeding values. Values are the mean of measurements made in eight mice per diet group. At the end of the study, body weights and food intakes of the LDF group were significantly lower than the body weights and food intakes of the AL-fed and IF groups (P < 0.001 in each case). Body weights and food intakes of the AL-fed and IF groups were not significantly different.
