Figure 8
(a) Only the respiratory quotient (RQ) varied at higher levels in the overfeeding compared to the other groups (ANOVA, Bonferroni post-hoc tests, ); (b) Nutritional and stress indices did not differ among feeding groups during the acute phase of stress. The Box-whisker plots show the median (horizontal line within the box), and the 10th and 90th percentiles (whiskers). The box length is the interquartile range (logarithmic scale). Solid circles represent outliers. REE: Resting Energy Expenditure, VO2: Oxygen Consumption, VCO2: Carbon Dioxide production, BSA: Body Surface Area, IL-6: Interleukin-6, IL-10: Interleukin-10.
