Figure 7

Reduced basic metabolic rate, energy expenditure and increased respiratory exchange ratio in Timp4 −/− mice. Basic metabolic rate corrected for body weight (BMR)(A), basic metabolic rate corrected for lean mass (B), energy expenditure (C), volume of released CO2 (D), and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) (E) during day (i) and nigh time (ii) in chow- or HFD-fed WT and Timp4 −/− mice. Significance between the chow-fed and HFD-fed groups within the genotypes are not shown in the figure. Averaged data are presented as mean ± S.E.M and analyzed by ANOVA. * indicates significance (p < 0.05).
