Effect of diet on number of licks (A) and duration per facial contact (B) after 2 or 16 weeks on the diet. There was no effect of time on diet, but a significant effect of diet on the number of licks at all temperatures tested (A). There was only a significant effect of time on diet on the duration per facial contact in the high fat diet group at 46°C, and a significant effect of diet on duration per facial contact at 32 and 46°C after either 2 or 16 weeks on the diet (B). # indicates a significant difference, p<0.05, between mice on HFD for 2 or 16 weeks. * indicates a significant difference, p<0.05, between diets after either 2 or 16 weeks on diet at the indicated temperatures. Sample sizes were as follows: C57 mice on RD for 16 weeks n = 23, mice on RD for 2 weeks n = 16, mice on HFD for 16 weeks n = 18, and mice on HFD for 2 weeks n = 18.
