Dear Bursa,
Thank you very much for your interest in our protocol.
Yes, we only water starve the mice as also mentioned in the protocol. In my recent experience, 5-6 h of water starvation also reduces variability between mice.
Regarding your second query, during the 4h waiting time we put the water bottle back.
I hope this information will help you to design your experiment.
Best,
