Weight gain (g, mean ± SEM) in pregnant and nonpregnant 8-wk-old C57BL/6J (pregnant, n = 12; nonpregnant, n = 16) and FVB/NTac (pregnant, n = 10; nonpregnant, n = 14) mice. The linear regression slopes for pregnant mice are significantly (P < 0.0001) different from those for nonpregnant mice for both strains. For the C57BL/6J linear regression analysis, F = 72.48, DFn = 1, and DFd = 12. For the FVB/NTac linear regression analysis, F = 172.96, DFn = 1, and DFd = 12.
