Fig. 7From: The effects on weight loss and gene expression in adipose and hepatic tissues of very-low carbohydrate and low-fat isoenergetic diets in diet-induced obese miceThe 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 < 0.01Back to article page
