Body Weight, Food and Water Consumption, and Momentum―Experiment Extending the Survival Time of Nude Mice

• Overview (experiment design and housing conditions) ―experiment extending the survival time of nude mice

Group C: nude mice housed in standard animal housing system (N = 5)
Group R: nude mice housed in Electron-Rich animal housing system (N = 5)

Body Weight, Food and Water Consumption

There was no statistically significant difference in the mean body weight of the two groups of nude mice at 30 weeks of age. On the other hand, the mean daily food and water consumption in Group R was statistically significantly larger than that in Group C.

Momentum

In nude mice at 30 weeks of age, both BMR and BMR per calorie intake in Group R were statistically significantly larger than in Group C.
