% Weight Change per Day ** –0.17 (–0.19, –0.14) +0.036 (0.015, 0.058) 0.0079

Data presented as median values with parentheses following denoting 95% confidence intervals of the mean.

Italicized P values denote non-significant values (P ≥ 0.5).

*

Bone tissue slides from one affected marmoset were nondiagnostic.

**

Percent weight change per day represented as the median slope and 95% confidence interval of that slope.
