Effect of sex, diet, and body composition on EE and RER Sub-study 1: Phenotypic characterization of EE and RER by comparing diets (chow/HFD) and sex (male/female). A + D: Mean value EE and RER visualized during the relevant measurement period. B + C + E: Calculated mean ± SEM and individual values for EE, EE adjusted for FM and FFM (Adj_EE), and RER per group. The groups were compared using a two-way ANOVA with Šídák’s multiple comparisons test. Significant comparisons between groups are reported as **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001; ns not significant, EE energy expenditure, RER respiratory exchange ratio, HFD high-fat diet
