Figure 5.
Plasma AEA concentration from mice with wheel access as a function of the number of wheel revolutions in the 30 minutes prior to plasma sampling (N = 89). The number of wheel revolutions (transformed to the 0.4 power for statistical analyses [Table 5], but shown here as raw values) was a significant positive predictor of AEA values (p = 0.0043), home-cage was a negative predictor (p = 0.0383), and HR mice had lower levels than C mice after adjusting for these relationships (Table 5). The interactions between linetype and amount of wheel running or home-cage activity were not statistically significant (results not shown and these terms not included in final statistical model).
