All mice were housed in our Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care - accredited barrier facility on a 12 h light / dark cycle, and given ad libitum access to food (NIH31 Diet, Harlan no. 7917) and water. (eneuro.org)
Mice under time - restricted feeding have an equivalent energy intake from a high - fat diet as those with ad libitum access yet are protected against obesity, hyperinsulinaemia and hepatic steatosis [5, 6]. (link.springer.com)
Mice in both groups were given ad libitum access to food and water throughout the experiment. (eneuro.org)
