Table 2.

Body composition phenotypes of male and female pups of either wild-type (PREP^WT/WT) or heterozygous PREP^WT/gt) mothers. Pups were fed LF diet only. Data are means ± SE.

P values were calculated by ANOVA: Bonferroni correction for multiple tests sets significant P value at ≤ 0.001. Post hoc comparisons were by Tukey's HSD: means not sharing a letter are significant at P = 0.05.

Group sizes: Males: PREP^WT/WT, N=46; PREP^WT/gt, N=42. Females: PREP^WT/WT, N=32; PREP^WT/gt, N=39.
