Fig 1. Change in body weight following treatment of adult and newborn mice.
(a) In adult mice, controls continuously gained weight over 8 d, whilst after DSS treatment initial weight gain reversed into weight loss, significantly different from controls from the 5th experimental day on. (b) In neonatal mice, controls also continuously gained weight over 60 h. Animals from the LPS and DSS group gained weight in a similar matter for 36 h followed by a significant weight loss, which was more pronounced for DSS (p < 0.001). ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
