Table 1 Effects of fasting on body weight, adipose weight and glucose in intact and adrenalectomized mice.

Group	n	Body weight (g)	Adipose weight (g)	Blood glucose (mg/dl)
Intact/Ad lib fed	6	22.8 ± 0.8^a	0.14 ± 0.04^a	108.8 ± 15.1^a
Intact/Fasted	6	16.1 ± 0.4^b	0.02 ± 0.002^b	60.3 ± 4.3^b
ADX/Ad lib fed	10	23.6 ± 0.4^a	0.22 ± 0.02^a	124.1 ± 6.6^a
ADX/Fasted	9	19.5 ± 0.7^b	0.04 ± 0.006^b	52.6 ± 4.8^b

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Groups with different letters are statistically different (p < 0.05), reflecting ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer post hoc tests comparing every group to every other group. Thus groups with the same letter do not differ from each other at a p < 0.05 level.
