Body Composition
After weaning (3 weeks of age), F1 and F2 mice were weighed weekly for
40 weeks. Final body weight was recorded at the time of euthanasia. Wet
weight was recorded for adipose deposits on the right abdomen and the
left kidney. To determine differences in body composition, ratios of
bodyweight to adipose mass (body weight/fat pad mass) and bodyweight to
kidney mass (body weight/kidney weight) were calculated and compared
using a one-way ANOVA (p-value < 0.05).
