Fig. 2: Melatonin increases energy expenditure in DIO mice.

From: Suppression of obesity by melatonin through increasing energy expenditure and accelerating lipolysis in mice fed a high-fat diet

Fig. 2

A VO2 of the mice. B VCO2 of the mice. C Respiratory exchange ratio (RER) of the mice. D Energy expenditure (EE) plotted against body weight and ANCOVA predicted energy expenditure at a given body weight of 25 g in mice. The ANCOVA bodyweight effect is p = 0.003. E Rectal temperature of the mice. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 5–8. Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. NC + Veh mice; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, vs. HFD + Veh mice.
