Table 3. Body weight, tibia length and muscle mass to body weight ratios in wild-type and Pus1 −/− mice at 14 weeks of age.
n* | Body weight (BW; g)1 | Tibia Length (mm) | TA mass/BW (×100) | Gastroc Mass/BW (×100) | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
WT | 13 | 25.8 ± 1.4 | 16.8 ± 0.1 | 0.19 ± 0.004 | 0.51 ± 0.01 |
Pus1−/− | 9 | 23.5 ± 1.4 | 16.4 ± 0.2 | 0.18 ± 0.004 | 0.50 ± 0.01 |
Abbreviations: n, sample size. WT, wild-type. BW, body weight. g, grams. mm, millimeter. TA, tibialis anterior. Gastroc, gastrocnemius.
1Entries are given as the mean ± standard error of the mean.
*For WT there were 8 males and 5 females, for Pus1−/− there were 4 males and 5 females. A body weight for a female Pus1−/− mouse was not taken at sacrifice (n = 1); therefore, data for 8 mice are presented in Table 3. A total of 9 mice were used throughout all other measures.
