Table 1. Cosinor analysis of plasma CORT circadian pattern in WT and Lxrα -/- mice.

Group Mean level (ng/ml) Amplitude Acrophase (ZT:min)
♂ WT 206.7 (181.4 ; 231.2) 94.9 (62.5 ; 129.0) 12:16 (10:49 ; 13:47)
Lxrα -/- 274.0 (235.8 ; 317.0) NSR NSR
♀ WT 437.6 (388.7 ; 486.5)* 114.7 (62.5 ; 179.4) 12:24 (09:49 ; 14:52)
Lxrα -/- 545.4 (458.3 ; 634.3)* 356.6 (225.1 ; 492.1)* 13:03 (11:52 ; 14:23)*

For each parameter measured, values are represented as median ± 95% bootstrap confidence intervals.

* indicates significant differences between females vs males

† indicates significant differences between Lxrα-/- vs WT mice.

Circadian rhythmicity was considered significant for a p-value < 0.05; NSR, not significantly rhythmic.
