Body Weight, Food Intake, and Systolic Blood Pressure of Young and Elderly Wild-Type and Transgenic Rats

	Young		Elderly
Characteristics	WT	Tg-GLO1	WT	Tg-GLO1
Body weight (g)	330 ± 17	330 ± 26	490 ± 56⁎	480 ± 54⁎
Chow intake (mg/day per g weight)	43 ± 13	42 ± 14	39 ± 12	42 ± 14
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	106 ± 4	104 ± 5	106 ± 11	104 ± 9

Significant differences were found in body weight in elderly compared with young rats, but no significant differences were found in those of the same age. No significant differences were observed in food intake or systolic blood pressure; n = 8 in each of the four categories.

^⁎P < 0.01 versus young WT.
