Body and organ weight comparison of HMGA2^−/+ vs. HMGA2^+/+ nonparous gilts at 2.5 y of age

Body and organs	HMGA2−/+ (n = 4)	HMGA2+/+ (n = 2)	Change in weight,* %
Body	253.3 ± 7.5 kg	275.5 ± 15.5 kg	91.9
Adrenal glands†	8.0 ± 0.8 g	11.0 ± 1.0 g	72.7
Brain	116.0 ± 0.9 g	118.5 ± 4.5	98.3
Heart†	497.3 ± 9.0 g	853.0 ± 10.0 g	58.3
Kidneys†	381.8 ± 18.5 g	704.5 ± 82.5 g	54.2
Livers†	2,372.5 ± 59.3 g	3,224.5 ± 208.5 g	73.6
Lungs	1,238.8 ± 136.2 g	1,161.0 ± 59.0 g	106.7
Uterus†	647.0 ± 67.6 g	1,201.0 ± 25.0 g	53.8
Ovaries†	29.7 ± 7.8 g‡	97.5 ± 61.5 g	30.4

^*Change in weight is the ratio of body or organ weights of HMGA2^−/+ over HMGA2^+/+.

^†Significant at P < 0.05.

^‡n = 3 due to cystic ovary.
