Post-mortem organ weights were collected in female (WT, n = 5–9; KO, n = 8–9), and male (WT, n = 10; KO, n = 8–9) adults (9.7 ± 0.3 and 9.9 ± 0.3 weeks, respectively). Data are mean ± SEM. Statistical differences are indicated: main effect of sex, main effect of genotype, and sex × genotype interaction (two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc comparison).
