Body weight (A), daily caloric intake (B), energy balance (C) and energy expenditure (D) during 3 baseline days and 22 post-surgical days in ovariectomized (triangles) and sham (circles) rats. The vertical dashed line indicates the end of the baseline period and the day when surgery was performed. Data represent mean ± SEM, n = 12/OVX, n = 8/SHAM; (*) indicates p < 0.05 for OVX vs. SHAM rats. Abbreviation: OVX, ovariectomized.
