Obesity induced by a pair-fed high fat sucrose diet: methylation and expression pattern of genes related to energy homeostasis

Table 1 Food intake, respiratory quotient and energy expenditure in both experimental groups (C and HFS)

	Control	HFS	T test
Weight gain	158.50 ± 7.22	209.25 ± 12.05	**
Food intake at the end of the treatment (Kcal/d	75.1 ± 1.8	72.5 ± 2.9	NS
Respiratory quotient	0.73 ± 0.0	0.72 ± 0.0	NS
Energy expenditure (Kcal/d/bw ¾)	116.6 ± 2.8	125.7 ± 3.7	NS

NS: not statistically significant; d: day; bw: body weight. Data are given as mean ± SEM. Control vs. HFS: * p < 0.05.
