Daily body weight, liquid, and food intake for mice ingesting tap water or 5% sucrose during the 48-h voiding study
Tap Water (n = 7) | 5% Sucrose (n = 8) | |
---|---|---|
Initial body weight | 26.84 ± 2.14 g | 25.05 ± 0.87 g |
Final body weight | 25.59 ± 1.81 g* | 24.49 ± 0.83 g |
Change in body weight | −4.3 ± 0.9 % | −2.2 ± 0.9 % |
Food consumption day 1 | 2.30 ± 0.21 g | 2.83 ± 0.33 g |
Food consumption day 2 | 3.06 ± 0.29 g | 3.07 ± 0.30 g |
Total food consumption | 5.35 ± 0.42 g | 5.90 ± 0.54 g |
Water consumption day 1 | 2.87 ± 0.54 mL | 11.80 ± 1.00 mL† |
Water consumption day 2 | 3.81 ± 0.37 mL | 12.52 ± 2.75 mL† |
Total water consumption | 6.61 ± 0.50 mL | 24.32 ± 3.12 mL† |
Results are means ± SE. n, number of mice in each group. *P < 0.05 vs. initial body weight. †P < 0.05 vs. tap water, two-way repeated measures ANOVA with Sidak test for multiple comparisons.
