a Data represent means ± SEM for n = 6 mice per treatment group sampled at 4-hour intervals for 4 days. Statistics were calculated using the Cosinor program [53]
b Results of F tests to determine if the amplitude of modeled cosine waves is significantly larger than zero, an indication that the cosine fit is meaningful [53]
