Comparison of metabolic parameters of male and female C57Bl/6J mice after a 10 week high fat diet.

Table shows body weight, total energy expenditure (TEE), resting metabolic rate (RMR), activity related energy expenditure (AEE), caloric cost of activity (CCA), physical activity (PA) and the peak to peak amplitude in the RMR for male and female mice. Interestingly, even though PA was higher in female mice, this did not engender a difference in AEE since CCA was higher in male mice.
