Figure 4

Circulating levels of (A) betaine, (B) choline, (C) trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), and (D) body temperature in garden dormice at different time points during hibernation, i.e. non-hibernation (black bars), torpor status (grey bars, stratified into early and late torpor), and interbout interval (white bars, stratified into early and intermediate interbout interval). Results are shown as median (interquartile range). Overall p values between the five groups were assessed by non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test. Group-wise comparisons using Bonferroni post hoc analysis are described in the Results section. Number of animals included in each group is depicted.
