Weight loss (g; mean ± SE, n = 24) in mice housed on either static or ventilated racks and acutely deprived of water for as long as 48 h: experiment 1. Weight loss was determined as absolute change from initial weight. There was no statistical difference between static and ventilated racks. After 24 and 48 h of acute water deprivation, mice had lost approximately 12% and 18%, respectively, of their baseline body weight; 15% weight loss corresponds to approximately 5.4 g.
