Diurnal core body temperature changes.

<p>(A) <i>Mgll</i>^+/+ (n = 6) and <i>Mgll</i>^−/− mice (n = 7) were intra-abdominally implanted with thermo-logger and placed in a thermostat chamber with a light-dark cycle (L:D = 12h:12h). Core body temperatures of 3 consecutive light-dark cycles were averaged for each mice. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, for indicated numbers of mice. No statistically significant differences were found between genotypes (Bonferroni post-test after two-way repeated measures ANOVA). (B-D) Averaged body temperature for light period (ZT 1–10) (B) and dark period (ZT 13–23) (C), and the difference in body temperatures between light and dark periods (D) were calculated using the data shown in (A). No statistically significant differences were found between genotypes (Student’s <i>t</i>-test).
