(a) Serial changes in food intake of miR-33+/+ and miR-33−/− mice fed HFD in metabolic cages (n=5–6 each, *P<0.05 in Student’s t-test). (b) Body temperature of miR-33+/+ and miR-33−/− mice at 16 weeks of age (n=23, 34 each). (c) Oxygen consumption rate of miR-33+/+ and miR-33−/− mice fed NC at 16 weeks of age (n=8 each). (d) Oxygen consumption during 12 h by miR-33+/+ and miR-33−/− mice fed NC at 16 weeks of age (n=8 each). (e) Serial changes in activity of miR-33+/+ and miR-33−/− mice fed NC at 16 weeks of age (n=8 each). (f) Day and night activity of miR-33+/+ and miR-33−/− mice fed NC at 16 weeks of age (n=8 each). (g) Urinary secretion of adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine (n=3–4 each). Values are the means±s.e.m.
