Bioenergetics of Growth, Pregnancy and Lactation in the Laboratory Mouse, Mus Musculus
l. Multiple regression models for reproductivity active (RA) female mice show bioenergetic parameters to be functions of total live weight of the reproducing unit and reproductive day but not related to litter size or daily weight gain. 2. For growing, non-reproductively active (NRA) females. bioenergetic parameters are linear functions of live weight. 3. Weight specific daily energy budgets ar...
متن کاملLimits to sustained energy intake. I. Lactation in the laboratory mouse Mus musculus.
Laboratory mice (strain MF1) were used to determine whether sustainable rates of energy intake are limited during lactation. Mice raising natural-sized litters (N=71) reached an asymptote in their daily food intake between days 13 and 16 of lactation at 23.1 g x day(-1) and also between litter sizes of 9 and 15 pups (22.8 g x day(-1)). A second group of 37 females had their litter sizes manipul...
متن کاملLimits to sustained energy intake. III. Effects of concurrent pregnancy and lactation in Mus musculus.
To determine whether mice were limited in their capacity to absorb energy during late lactation, we attempted to increase the energy burden experienced by a group of female mice during late lactation by mating them at the postpartum oestrus, hence combining the energy demands of pregnancy and lactation. These experimental mice were therefore concurrently pregnant and lactating in their first la...
متن کاملMitochondrial function and bioenergetic trade‐offs during lactation in the house mouse (Mus musculus)
Energy allocation theory predicts that a lactating female should alter the energetic demands of its organ systems in a manner that maximizes nutrient allocation to reproduction while reducing nutrient use for tasks that are not vital to immediate survival. We posit that organ-specific plasticity in the function of mitochondria plays a key role in mediating these energetic trade-offs. The goal o...
متن کاملGastrulation in Mus musculus (common house mouse)
As mice embryos develop, they undergo a stage of development called gastrulation [7]. The hallmark of vertebrate gastrulation [7] is the reorganization of the inner cell mass [8] (ICM) into the three germ layers [9]: ectoderm [10], mesoderm [11], and endoderm [12]. Mammalian embryogenesis [13] occurs within organisms; therefore, gastrulation [7] was originally described in species with easily o...
