From: Transcriptome analysis identifies pathways associated with enhanced maternal performance in QSi5 mice

Figure 2

Assessment of maternal performance in two inbred mice strains. (a) Cumulative litter weights in two strains – Cumulative litter weights measured using 6 pups/dam during the first 8 days of lactation in CBA (n = 16) and QSi5 (n = 20) strains; Weights are reported as Mean ± SEM. Lactation performance was significantly greater in QSi5 dams compared to CBA. (b) Individual pup weight gain at 8 days – Mean pup weight gain at the first 2 parities in CBA (n = 16) and QSi5 (n = 20) strains of mice. Pup weight gain was significantly higher in QSi5 strain relative to CBA strain of mice in both parities.
