Figure 4. Energy expenditure in response to bariatric procedures.
(a) Energy expenditure over a 24-h period was assessed by indirect calorimeter in DIO, GB-IL and DIO mice at 4 weeks post-operative. (b) Unadjusted energy expenditure (kcal h−1). (c) ANCOVA adjusted mean energy expenditure. (d) Food intake (kcal per day) was monitored daily for 5 days in each study group. (e) The frequency of locomotor activity (pedestrian meters) as determined by beam breaks per 24-h period. N of 4 DIO, N of 6 GB-IL, N of 6 RYGB per group. Values shown are the mean±s.e.m. *P<0.05 by two-way ANCOVA.
