Figure 4. Quiescence Resembles the Behavioral Sequences of Satiety in Mammals.

Figure 4

(A) Decrease in feeding rate (measured in pumps per minute [ppm]) over the time course of refeeding. Feeding rates of each of five wild-type worms were measured every 5 min for the first hour of refeeding.

(B) Decrease in food intake as measured by GFP intensity.

(C) Decrease in feeding rate (measured in ppm) over the time course of refeeding after 12 hr of fasting. Feeding rates of each of 20 wild-type worms were measured at each of the indicated time points (0, immediately after worms were transferred to food; 1.5, 1.5 hr after transfer, etc.)

(D) Increase in quiescence duration over the time course of refeeding. The quiescence durations of ten worms were measured at the indicated time points after transfer to food.

(E) Recovery of normal activity begins after 12 hr of refeeding. The x axis is not linear. Some points are replotted from (D).

Values are the mean ± SEM.
