The respiratory quotient (RQ), glucose and lipid oxidation rates, and energy expenditure rates. (a) RQ ratio, (b) glucose oxidation rates, (c) lipid oxidation rates, and (d) energy expenditure rates in VLCD- and LFD-fed mice. Dark and light cycles are indicated by the gray and white backgrounds, respectively. Values are the mean ± SEM (n = 8). Statistical analysis was performed only for data from energy expenditure rates. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
