Alteration of body weight and fat mass in mature mice subjected to fasting and refeeding. 3-months-old mice were fasted for 24, 48 and 72 h (F24, F48 and F72) respectively, and then fed again for 12, 24, 48 and 72 h (R12, R24, R48 and R72), respectively, after 72 h of fasting. Body weights (a), food intakes (b) and tissue appearance (c) of inguinal white adipose tissue (ingWAT), epididymal WAT ((eWAT), mesenteric WAT (mWAT) and interscapular BAT (iBAT) of mice during different fasting and feeding conditions were detected. Weights of adipose tissues (ingWAT, eWAT, mWAT, iBAT) expressed as a percentage of body weight in adult mice (d-g) were also analyzed. All data are presented as the mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001 compared with control mice (Con); a p <0.05, b p <0.001 compared with 72 h-fasting; c p <0.01 compared with 24 h-refeeding (one-way ANOVA)
