Changes in organ weights at different ages between +/Dsk5 and wild-type mice

Age, mo	Liver	Kidney	Spleen	Fat Pad	Testes

The organs from subgroups +/Dsk5 and wild-type mice were weighed. Means and standard errors were calculated. The data show the percent difference in organ weight means for 5 different organs from male mice and 4 organs from female (F) mice. Note that the livers and kidneys tended to be larger in the +/Dsk5 mice compared to their wild-type littermates, whereas the fat pads were smaller.
