MEI, metabolizable energy intake; BW, body weight; FFM, fat-free mass; ORGAN, crude organ mass (sum of liver, kidney, heart, and brain mass); EE is expressed as EE kJ/min/mouse (kJ per min per mouse) and EEBW, FFM, ORGAN (kJ/min normalized by BW, FFM, and ORGAN).

Data are presented as means ± SEM unless otherwise indicated; superscript letters that differ indicate differences between ages within temperature and feed period, Bonferroni corrected P values provided in table;

α, ¥, $,+

values are presented as least square mean ± SEM, adjusted for MEI, BW, FFM, and ORGAN, respectively.
