Figure 1. Female mice exposed to dim light at night (dLAN) had a greater change in body mass than mice exposed to dark nights (LD), despite decreased food intake in dLAN mice compared to LD mice in weeks five and six.

Figure 1

Body mass interacted with lighting across the six weeks of the experiment such that mice in dLAN (n=11) had a greater gain in body mass than mice in LD (n=9) (A). Change in body mass was increased in dLAN (n=11) mice compared to LD (n=9) mice across the six weeks of the experiment (B). Food intake across the six weeks of the experiment, LD (n=8) mice had increased food intake on weeks five and six compared to dLAN (n=11) exposed mice (C). Mice in LD (n=7) and dLAN (n=8) had similar amounts of 24 hour (h) activity averaged for the four days of home cage monitoring (D). Significant mean differences p<0.05 indicated by asterisk (*).
