Figure 1. Effects of ART, diet and sex on mouse offspring body weight from weaning until seven weeks of age.

Figure 1

A. Body weights for all offspring conceived by natural conception (No ART; n=87; light grey bars) or with the use of ART (ART; n=36; dark grey bars). B. Body weights for all offspring conceived by from mothers consuming a maintenance chow (LF; n=68; light grey bars) or a diet containing 24% fat and 17.5% high fructose corn syrup (HF; n=55; dark grey bars). C. Body weights of females (n=60; light grey bars) and males (n= 63; dark grey bars). Comparisons were made at weaning (22 days), week 4 (26 days), week 5 (33 days), week 6 (40 days) and week 7 (47 days). The middle bar in a box shows the median (50%) body weight. The upper and lower borders of a box show the 1st and 3rd quartiles (25% and 75%, respectively) of a group body weight. The bars above or below the dash lines mark the body weights that are 2.5 times of a quartile away from the median. Dots outside of bars are even further away from the median. ART = assisted reproductive technologies. BW = body weight. Solid black lines with asterisks above are used to demarcate statistical differences between groups at given times after birth. * = p<0.0001, ** = p<0.05.
