Weight and survival in Men1+/− mice. A, Mean monthly weight of mice in the PBS-treated (open circles) and pasireotide-treated (closed circles) groups (n = 24–70). The pasireotide-treated Men1+/− mice did not gain weight when compared with the PBS-treated Men1+/− mice (*, P < .05; **, P < .01). Error bars represent SEM. B, Kaplan-Meier analysis of mortality rates in Men1+/− mice during the 21 mo of study. Forty-seven of 72 PBS-treated Men1+/− mice (65.2%) survived until age 21 mo, compared with 51 of 63 pasireotide-treated mice (80.9%). Thus, survival in pasireotide-treated Men1+/− mice was significantly higher at age 21 mo, compared with control PBS-treated Men1+/− mice (P < .05, log-rank Mantel-Cox test).
