Figure 4

The thermogenic effect of midday feeding in rats (R. Mistlberger, B. Kent, G. Landry, unpublished). Group mean average waveforms of core body temperature measured via implanted transponders in rats (N = 11) under adlib food access (thin black line), 4 h/day restricted feeding (heavy line = day1, heavy green line = day 21), and total food deprivation (heavy red line = day1). Temperature rises dramatically within 10 min of meal onset on days 1 and 21 of restricted feeding, and remains elevated throughout mealtime on the meal omission day after day 21.
