Table 2. Growth variables (as median and quartiles) of mouse pups at postnatal day P14.

Normoxic controls Sham treated double-hit Cell treated double-hit
Number of animals (lungs) 22 (n = 11) 21 (n = 10) 20 (n = 9)
Body weight [g] 5.5 (5.3-7.7) 4.3 (3.9-4.6) 4.4 (3.9-4.8)
Body length [mm] 44.9 (41.8-47.2) 34.6 (31.4-35.4) 35.9 (34.1-37.3)
Head length [mm] 18.9 (18.6-19.6) 17.7 (17.2-20.1) 18 (17.8-19.6)
Lung weight [g] 0.09 (0.09-0.1) 0.07 (0.06-0.08) 0.07 (0.07-0.08)

Body weight, body length and lung weight showed significant changes between the normoxic control and both double-hit groups (p < 0.001 each). Lung weight was not determined in all animals (numbers for each group given in parenthesis).
