Body weight and femur length of male and female chimeric and control mice
| Plus-minus values are means ± SD | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Body weight | Femur length | ||
| Male | Wt or hetero (n ½ 17) | 25.3 ± 2.5 | 14.8 ± 04 |
| Chimera (n ½ 2) | 21.1, 27.4 | 12.4, 13.7 | |
| Homo (n ½ 15) | 18.6 ± 3.6 | 12.0 ± 0.4 | |
| Female | Wt or hetero (n ½ 19) | 20.4 ± 0.8 | 14.4 ± 0.2 |
| Chimera (n ½ 2) | 20.2, 23.5 | 12.0, 13.7 | |
| Homo (n ½ 13) | 16.7 ± 1.7 | 11.0 ± 0.5 | |
Blind measurements of control mice were taken, and Mann–Whitney’s U-test was performed for statistical analyses between chimeric mice and homozygous mice. Statistical differences existed (P-value ½ 0.025–0.074).
