  1. Measurements of indirect calorimetry by metabolic cages of control and PCOS mice on a standard chow diet, showing food intake (g), locomotor activity (beam breaks), energy expenditure (kcal/12 h), body weight corrected energy expenditure (kcal/12 h/kg), oxygen (O2) consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide (CO2) produced (VCO2), and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) do not differ between control and PCOS mice. Data are the mean ± SEM; n = 17 control and 16 PCOS mice.
