Figure 2. ΔFosB overexpressing mice showed no differences in food intake on either chow or high fat (HF) diet.

Figure 2

(A) ΔFosB expression did not significantly affect daily food intake normalized to body weight on either chow or HF diet, although daily caloric intake was reduced in the HF groups in the third week of diet exposure (P < 0.01), and post hoc testing showed this effect to be specific to the ΔFosB mice (P < 0.01). (B) Final body weights were significantly increased in mice that received six weeks of HF diet compared to chow (P < 0.001), and were reduced in mice overexpressing ΔFosB (P < 0.05), which post hoc testing showed to be significant to the chow group (P < 0.05). *Significantly different from chow within expression group, +significantly different from control chow.
