Fig. 6From: Metabolic shift toward ketosis in asocial cavefish increases social-like affinityBody length and weight under control diet (CD) or ketogenic diet (KD) feeding. A Standard length (cm). KD-fed surface fish and cavefish were significantly smaller than their CD-fed counterparts. The linear mixed-effect model followed by post hoc Holm’s correction was applied for the statistical tests. B Body weight (g). KD-fed surface fish and cavefish weighed less than their CD-fed counterparts. The linear mixed-effect model followed by post hoc Holm’s correction was applied for the statistical tests. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. Dots indicate individual data. Surface fish: N = 28 for CD, N = 32 for KD. Cavefish: N = 28 for CD, N = 32 for KD. *: P < 0.05, **: P < 0.01, ***: P < 0.001.
