Rate of weight loss of body and organs during fasting. The rate of weight loss is calculated in comparison to the previous fasting time point and expressed as percent change in weight per day. Whole-body weight loss and that of the three visceral organs was significant (p < 10−3) at all the time points compared with that in non-fasted mice. Muscle weight loss became significant only after 72 h (p < 0.004), whereas no significant weight loss was seen in the brain.
