Table 3. Body weight.
Behaviour/Physical Trait | Descriptive Term | Nfix +/+ | Nfix +/− |
Weight | Female (g) | 21.37±0.782 | 21.46±0.782 |
Male (g) | 26.28±0.871 | 28.71±0.734 |
The weights (g) of wild-type mice and Nfix +/− mice were recorded. There was weak evidence (p = 0.08) to suggest that male Nfix+ /− mice were on average heavier than male wild-type mice. There was no evidence that female Nfix +/− mice were heavier than female wild-type mice. The age that mice were weighed at varied from P63–P73. To account for this source of variation, ‘age-at-weigh-in’ was added as a covariate during the statistical analysis of these data (Nfix +/+, n = 20, 9 male, 11 female; Nfix +/−, n = 26, 12 male, 14 female).
