Fig. 3: PCOS and control mice exhibit similar eating habits and dietary preference.
From: Defining the impact of dietary macronutrient balance on PCOS traits
Response surfaces showing food intake of control (a) and PCOS (b) mice and energy intake of control (c) and PCOS (d) mice across 10 different diets varying in protein (P), carbohydrate (C), and fat (F) content, demonstrating that PCOS mice exhibit the same eating pattern as control mice, as dietary protein increases, food and energy intake decreases. Red areas indicate the greatest value for each response, which then decreases to the lowest value as the color shifts to blue. a–d n = 93 control and 94 PCOS mice. e Macronutrient intake (kJ/day) of control and PCOS mice when given a choice between 3 diets (high P (60%), high C (75%), and high F (75%)), showing no significant difference in macronutrient preference between control and PCOS mice. e n = 17 control and 16 PCOS mice. e Data presented as violin plots, doted lines indicate the median and dashed lines the 25 and 75% percentiles.
