Figure 3

Effect of high fat diet and adrenalectomy on heat production. Total heat production reflects metabolic rate without normalization to body weight. (A) High-fat diet increased heat production in the sham-operated mice (chow sham-operated vs. diet sham-operated) statistically by ANOVA (p < 0.0001). (B) Adrenalectomy increased heat production further in diet-induced obese mice (diet sham-operated vs. diet adrenalectomized) by ANOVA (p < 0.002). Data are plotted as an average, within each group, of every five-minute interval between 18:00 hours and 12:00 hours.
