Table 2.

Circadian locomotor activity profile and bout analysis (mean ± SEM) for all diet and lighting conditions for each genotype. Within the title of each column, the ‡ symbol refers to a diet difference, σ refers to a strain difference, and the X refers to an interaction. Different letters within each column indicate significant differences among each other at p < .05 (^ indicates at p = .061). For Bout Length and Counts per Bout, B6J > B6N and RC > HFD, also at p < .05.
