Effect of exercise cessation on total energy expenditure (EE) in G28C and G21C groups.

<p>A. G28C group (n = 8) housed at 28°C. Mean EE (kcal/hr) rate every 10 min during the entire photoperiod with Exercise and after running wheels were locked (Sedentary). Insert: Cumulative mean dark cycle and light cycle EE in G28C mice during the Exercise period (EX) and after running wheels were locked (SED). B. G21C group (n = 8) housed at 21°C. Mean EE (kcal/hr) rate every 10 min during the entire photoperiod with Exercise and after running wheels were locked (Sedentary). Insert: Cumulative mean dark cycle and light cycle EE in G21C mice during the Exercise period (EX) and after running wheels were locked (SED). All data shown as means ± SEM for 3(EX) or 4(SED) consecutive days, * signifies p<0.05 by pair-wise t-test.
