Female and male mice were weighed the same day each week in nine mouse rooms representing all three breeding facilities. Weights were measured from 40 females and 40 males in each room; the values shown here represent averages of up to 360 females and 360 males. Mice were fed a diet containing 6% fat (LabDiet® 5K52 formulation). Values represent mean and one standard deviation. Ages are ± 3 days.
