Repeated bouts of fasting results in weight loss in C57BL/6J mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were weighed at the start (10:00 h) and end (16:00 h) of the fasting period daily for five days. (a) Relative (% body weight) and (b) absolute (g) daily weight loss in C57BL/6J mice during multiple low dose streptozotocin (MLD-STZ) injection protocol. (c) Average relative (% body weight) and (d) absolute (g) daily weight loss for each treatment group calculated from the average weight lost during days 1–5 of MLD-STZ injections. Values were expressed as % body weight and absolute values in grams. Results are expressed as the means ± SEM. n = 15–16 mice per group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared with Control mice that were ad libitum fed (Control-Fed) at the time of injection.
