Body weight and BMI in sympathectomized and tumor-bearing mice. Sympathectomy (SYMP) was performed in tumor-bearing and tumor-free (TF) mice (a) Body weight gain is expressed as a percentage relative to body weight at day − 4. Dotted lines mark the day of sympathectomy and tumor implantation, respectively and (b) tumor weight was subtracted from body weight for BMI calculations. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM of 5–6 mice from a representative experiment. *p ≤ 0.05
