Figure 3.
Total body mass of B6 and outbred Wt, oim/+ and oim/oim mice at 1, 2 and 4 months of age. Oim/oim mice had reduced body mass compared to Wt and oim/+ at all ages, regardless of strain. B6 mice also had reduced body mass compared to age and genotype matched outbred animals. ap≤0.05 as compared to Wt animals of the same strain and age; bp≤0.05 as compared to Wt and oim/+ animals of the same strain and age; cp≤0.05 as compared to outbred animals of the same genotype and age; dp≤0.05 as compared to 2 month animals of the same genotype and strain; ep≤0.05 as compared to 4 month animals of the same genotype and strain. [per age class: Wt, n=12–21; oim/+, n=11–36; oim/oim, n=7–19]
