Food consumption in wild-type (+/+) and PPARβ-null (−/−) micea
| Genotype | Sex | Body wt (g) | Food intake (g/day) | Normalized food intake (g/day/BW0.75)b |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +/+ | Male | 25.9 ± 0.8 | 4.25 ± 0.20 | 0.370 ± 0.011 |
| −/− | Male | 24.4 ± 1.0 | 4.83 ± 0.21 | 0.439 ± 0.023* |
| +/+ | Female | 25.1 ± 1.3 | 5.01 ± 0.16 | 0.445 ± 0.014 |

a
Fourteen-week-old mice (n = 5/group) were studied while housed one mouse per cage. Values are means ± standard errors of the means. ∗, significantly different from wild-type control (P < 0.05 by Student's t test).
b
Food intake normalized to body weight (BW).
