Mice with scores of 5–6 (modified BCS + modified weight) were euthanized if activity score from daily assessments was ≥2 on 2 consecutive days.
Score | Body condition score (BCS) | Weight |
---|---|---|
0 | BCS 3 | Normal (at baseline) |
1 | BCS 2.9–2.5 | loss of up to 10% of baseline weight |
2 | BCS 2.4–2.0 | loss of 10%–15% of baseline weight |
3 | BCS less 1.9 | loss of more than 15% of baseline weight |
BSC range [0–3] | Weight range [0–3] |
Total score: BCS + weight [range: 0–6].
