Figure 2. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) of mice after 3 months of calorie (CR) or protein (PR) restriction, normalized using 3 popular ratio methods.

Figure 2

A. CR, and D. PR normalized by dividing BMR (mls O2/min) by body mass0.75. B. CR and E. PR normalized by dividing BMR (mls O2/min) by body mass0.66. C. CR and F. PR normalized by dividing BMR (mls O2/min) by lean body mass. In all cases there was a significant effect of CR on the normalized metabolic rate and with PR there was no significant effect. For details of statistics refer to text. 24AL refers to mice with constant access to food.12AL mice had ad libitum access for 12h per day. 10CR, 20CR 30CR and 40CR refer to mice under 10, 20, 30 and 40% CR respectively, while 20PR, 30PR and 40PR refer to mice under 20, 30 and 40% PR respectively.
