Body mass and organ masses in young and old virgin California mice by sex. P values are for main effect of age group from one-way ANOVA (body mass) or ANCOVA (organ masses). Values are presented as mean ± SEM or mean with lower and upper confidence interval (for log-transformed data) and are reported in grams; bolded P-values are <0.05.
