TABLE 4.

Mean body weight by time point in kg (± s.d.), including data from 45 subjects that were weighed at all four time points, plus any other weights that were obtained from transported animals.

Pre-transport Upon Arrival One month after arrival Two months after arrival
Body Weight – Subjects with weights at 4 time points (n=45)a 59.5 ± 7.3 57.0 ± 7.3b 57.1 ± 7.5b 56.8 ± 7.7b
Body Weight – Females only 58.0 ± 7.7 (n=41) 55.7 ± 7.5 (n=42) 56.0 ± 7.8 (n=42) 55.8 ± 7.8 (n=33)
Body Weight - Males only 61.8 ± 6.1 (n=26) 59.2 ± 6.2 (n=29) 61.3 ± 7.6 (n=24) 61.2 ± 7.7 (n=15)
t-test values for comparison of males and females t(65) = -2.08c t(69) = -2.10c t(64) = -2.65c t(46) = -2.24c
a

P≤0.05 for the effect of time point (n=45)

b

P≤0.05 for the comparison to the Pre-transport value

c

P≤0.05 for the comparison of females to males
