Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice Overexpressing Neuropeptide Y in Noradrenergic Neurons

Figure 5

Physical activity during the Western-type diet in wildtype (WT) and homozygous OE-NPY^DBH female mice. The total activity was calculated as the sum of horizontal and vertical movement counts over the 24-h period starting at 11:00 o’clock a.m. The dark period (18:00–06:00 h) is marked with vertical lines. Mean ± SEM count values are shown for each hour (𝑛=12, WT; 𝑛=7, OE-NPY^DBH). White squares = WT; Black squares = OE-NPY^DBH.
