Fig. 4. Cd36ΔLEC mice have reduced energy balance.
Eleven- and 20-week-old Cd36ΔLEC and control mice (n = 4) were housed in metabolic cages for 48 h to monitor a, d carbon dioxide release rate (VCO2), b, e O2 consumption (VO2), and c, f energy expenditure. Data are means ± SE with n representing the number of mice per group. Light grey: 11-week-old control mice; light red: 11-week old Cd36ΔLEC mice. Statistical significance is determined by two-tailed Student t test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
