A) Bar graphs showing tibial length of adult and old, wild-type and Ames dwarf mice. Young adult = 4-5 months; Old =24-28 months. *p<0.05. Tibiae were measured using a PIXImus system (GE-Lunar). B) Scatter-plot of heart weight vs tibial length. Note that the tibiae of wild-type mice did not grow post-maturation. However, the tibae of Ames mice continued to grow beyond 6 months of age. C) Heart weight/Tibial length ratios. HW/tibial length ratios were significantly reduced in the Ames dwarf mice at both young adult and older age versus age-matched wild-type *p<0.05.
