Table 1.

Mouse Weights before and after Blast of Different Levels

Mouse TBI groups Pre-blast day weight (g) Blast day weight (g) Post-blast day 1 weight (g) Post-blast week 1 weight (g) Post-blast week 2 weight (g) Age in days on blast day Number of mice assessed
0–20 psi 25.3 25.0 24.7 25.3 25.8 85.9 39
25–40 psi 26.2 26.5 26.0 26.4 27.2 86.1 48
50–60 psi 25.3 25.2 24.6 25.3 25.6 87.0 43
Mouse TBI groups Pre-blast day weight (% of pre) Blast day weight (% of pre) Post-blast day 1 weight (% of pre) Post-blast week 1 weight (% of pre) Post-blast week 2 weight (% of pre) Age in days on blast day Number of mice assessed
0–20 psi 100.0% 99.0% 97.9% 99.9% 101.9% 85.9 39
25–40 psi 100.0% 101.0% 99.1% 100.7% 103.7% 86.1 48
50–60 psi 100.0% 99.5% 97.4% 100.0% 101.4% 87.0 43

Table shows weights both in grams (first four rows) and as a percent of pre-blast weight (last four rows). Blast did not significantly affect weight over the 2 weeks after blast.
