Importantly, chronic sugar intake over 8 weeks led to a significant increase in body weight when compared to the sugar-free period one week prior (Fig.4A, Two-way ANOVA; Fig.4A,BSugareffect:F(1,27) = 31.1;P < 0.001;Timeeffect:F(7,189) = 61.5;P < 0.001), which...
Breeding by YY females was associated with longer breeding seasons, which were lengthened through later cessation rather than earlier initiation of breeding, increased nestling growth rates and female-biased litters. The results of this study support the conclusion that nestling growth rates are ...
"These data demonstrate that puberty itself, not just age, plays a role in frontal cortex maturation," concluded the authors, who also noted that future studies on males will be needed to determine if the present results apply to the male brain. "To our knowledge, this study is the first ...
. The volume of the injection given was based on weight with the PGF treatments diluted so that the same volume could be given for each dose level. The same weight-based volume of PBS was given to control pups. 8 litters (n = 51 pups) were treated with PBS, 11 litters (n =...
Age-dependent changes in a body weight in mice with daily intake of water containing 0.055 mg/mL ERGO (gray columns, n = 16) or water alone (white columns, n = 32 and 16 for 7 weeks and others, respectively). b Fat mass, c lean mass, and d total water content were ...
However, during the study the average bodyweight of the ADAMTS5−/− mice was less compared to the WT mice (at 18 weeks of age, WT: 27.6 ± 0.7 g; ADAMTS5−/−: 24.3 ± 1.0 g, P = 0.01). In one ADAMTS5−/− mouse, osteomyelitis was diagnosed histologically in the ...
Xu said another member of Pum gene family, Pum2, can affect the mice's weight, but its effect was less significant than Pum1. His team has achieved a precise control over the size of mice after they found any reduction of Pum1 or Pum2 can lead to the reduction of size. ...
We discovered that UA, a triterpenoid compound with a molecular weight of 456.7 kD that is naturally found in fruit peels, herbs, and spices, exhibited profound decreases in total tau (tau5, HT7) and p-Tau (AT8) levels at multiple sites associated with AD in primary neurons instantly ...
Average body weight per mouse. (a) Comparison of treatment groups. Different letters above bars indicate significant differences by post-hoc Tukey tests (P < 0.05); Bodyweight change per mouse over the experiment: (b) group size, (c) age at allocation and (d) manipulation frequency. (...
Mice (age 8–24 weeks) were heterozygous BAC-transgenic mice expressing tomato under D1R control (Drd1a-td-tomato). To identify D2R-SPNs, Adora2a-cre was used (Jackson Laboratories). Weight and sex were distributed homogeneously among the groups. All transgenic mice were backcrossed into C57...
