Figure 3

Effect of cyclic hormone treatment on daily energy intake. Top: 24-h total intake, i.e. 24-h total energy intake on days that binge rats did not have access to the optional fat. Middle: 24-h chow intake on days that binge rats did have access to the optional fat. Bottom: 24-h total energy intake (1-h fat plus chow) on days that binge rats had access to the optional fat. Note that 1-h fat intake is shown in Fig 1. D=Day, E=Estradiol, P=Progesterone, EP=Estradiol/Progesterone. Small letters indicate tonic effects of estradiol in the binge groups; different letters indicate significant differences among the groups. Numbers indicate tonic effects of estradiol in the chow groups; different numbers indicate significant differences among the groups. * indicates cyclic effect of estradiol in each group, i.e. intake on Day 4 significantly less than intake on Day 2. # indicates significant difference between binge and chow group within each hormone treatment. For clarity only Day 4 comparisons are shown.
