Effect of diet modification on the basal metabolic rate.

<p>The levels of the consumed O₂ (VO₂, A), the produced CO₂ (VCO₂, B), energy expenditure (EE, C), and respiratory quotient (RQ, D) were examined in the control, HFR, HFA and HFF mice. Data are presented as means ± SD (n = 5 in each group). A significant difference was determined by one-way analysis of variance. *P<0.05 versus control in the same phase, **P<0.01 versus control in the same phase.
