Table 3b.
Weights (mean ± standard error) on postnatal day 30. At PND 30, significant differences were found according to the parental care received; high-contact offspring had lighter body weights compared to medium-contact offspring, while low-contact and high-contact offspring did not differ. Day 30 body weight also differed by sex, with males weighing more. The sex by treatment interaction was not significant.
| Parental care received | Female | Male |
|---|---|---|
| High contact | 28.363 ± 0.723 | 30.517 ± 0.808 |
| Medium contact | 30.947 ± 0.510 | 36.001 ± 1.135 |
| Low contact | 31.507 ± 1.351 | 31.067 ± 1.550 |
