Figure 5. Variation on different plasma biochemical parameters ( ) in relation to total body-mass loss (body-weight proportion withmeans SE respect to the first experimental day). Proportions are divided in ranks of 5% separately in the deterioration period (food restriction) and the recovery period (food ad lib.). Ranks from 1% to 5% are represented with number 5, and so on. Because these are not the cases, they do not show intermediate ranks between the last rank of the deterioration period and the first of the recovery period. Solid squares represent gulls in the fasting group, and open triangles represent the restricted gulls group. (Deterioration period: , both groups; recovery period:n p 9 , fast group; , restricted group.)n p 5 n p 8
