| Summary: | These data are from experiments studying protein preference and plasma FGF21 levels in protein-restricted male and female mice conducted at UiT the Arctic University of Norway. These findings will be published Volcko & McCutcheon (2022) bioRxiv. Detailed methods for the experiment can be found in this paper. Full citation to a peer-reviewed publication is expected to follow. Briefly, data are from sessions licking different solutions (casein and/or maltodextrin) in operant chambers, recorded on Med Associates hardware. Accompanying analysis code as a Jupyter notebook is available on Github (https://github.com/mccutcheonlab/ARP). The data are provided as a compressed zip file containing the following: Folder with raw datafiles from sessions with a single bottle of either casein or maltodextrin, and two-bottle choice tests Excel file with metadata to accompany each raw datafile ( ARP3 and ARP5 conditioning and preference metafile.xls ) The raw datafiles are Med Associates files in the stripped format. ARP3 and ARP5 conditioning and preference metafile.xls contains sheets ( metafile_exp1 and metafile_exp2 ) with the following information for each datafile: filename mouse ID date diet group (NR, non-restricted or PR, protein-restricted) sex cycle stage (for females in the preference test) nutrient in the left bottle nutrient in the right bottle flavor of the solution in the left bottle flavor of the solution in the right bottle number of licks to the left bottle number of licks to the right bottle phase of the experiment (conditioning sessions or preference test) ARP3 and ARP5 conditioning and preference metafile.xls also contains sheets ( food_intake, BW, female_cycle and FGF21 ) with data from food intake measurements, body weight measurements, change in food intake and body weight over two cycle in female mice, and plasma FGF21 levels.
