We measured diurnal rhythms of food intake, as well as body weight and composition, while
varying three major classes of sex-biasing factors: activational and organizational effects of
gonadal hormones, and sex chromosome complement (SCC). Four Core Genotypes (FCG)
mice, comprising XX and XY gonadal males and XX and XY gonadal females, were either
gonad-intact or gonadectomized (GDX) as adults (2.5 months); food intake was measured
second-by-second for 7 days starting 5 weeks later, and body weight and composition were …
