growth/size/body
• weaning weight is slightlky lower than expected
• weight gain between 21 and 42 days of age is 30-50% higher in mutant mice compared with wild-type
• weight at maturity remains higher than recorded for wild-type
|
• weight gain between 21 and 42 days of age is 30-50% higher in mutant mice compared with wild-type
|
reproductive system
• Background Sensitivity: fertility in both sexes may be normal or as much as 40 per cent lower than recorded for wild-type mice
• Background Sensitivity: 100% of mutant mice are fertile when the genetic background is 96.9% at N5
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• Background Sensitivity: the maintenance energy requirement in mutant mice is decreased compared with the requirement of wild-type mice
• Background Sensitivity: efficiency of growth of mutant mice is increased compared with wild-type mice
