Effects of small pouch RYGB on respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and locomotor activity.

<p>These tests were conducted at 9 weeks after surgery in mice fed a high-fat diet. (A) Diurnal pattern of RER. (B) Average RER for the entire diurnal cycle and separately for day and night. Note the significantly higher RER of RYGB mice during the dark period. (C) Diurnal pattern locomotor activity. (D) Average locomotor activity for the entire diurnal cycle and separately for day and night. Note the significantly higher activity of RYGB mice during the light period. Means ± SEM (RYGB n = 4, Sham n = 6). * p<0.05.
