Energy expenditure, and food and water intake were unchanged in CD44-deficient mice. After 11 weeks on diet, wild-type (B6 and C3H) and CD44-deficient (CD44.B6 and CD44.C3H) mice were housed individually in TSE metabolic cages. Food intake (A) and water intake (B) were measured over 24 h. Energy expenditure as represented by the respiratory exchange rate (RER) for mice on B6 background mice (C) and C3H background mice (D). Data are mean ± SE (n = 8). Bars labeled with different letters are P < 0.05 by ANOVA
