Differences in body compositions, growth and food intakes between mice which have been selected for a small and large body size.
1. Q-strain mice selected for high (QLF) or low (QSC) body-weight at 6 weeks of age were compared with respect to their body-weight increases, gross body compositions and food intakes. 2. DNA, RNA, protein and hydroxyproline contents were measured. 3. QLF animals were larger at all stages of development but ate more food and gained more body-weight per unit food intake with an apparently improv...
متن کاملThe effect of synchronous and asynchronous egg transfer on foetal weight in mice selected for large and small body size.
The weight difference between large, small and unselected strains of mice were maintained when blastocysts of each genotype were transferred to unselected control recipients, suggesting that foetal genotype was an important factor in determining prenatal body size. The asynchronous transfer of large, small and unselected embryos resulted in a highly significant (P less than 0-001) elevation of ...
متن کاملAverage genetic and heterotic effects on growth in mice selected for large 6-week body weight or rapid postweaning gain.
Data on body weights at 3 weeks (WK3) and 6 weeks (WK6) and postweaning gain from 3 to 6 weeks (GAIN) were analyzed in eight populations of mice to estimate the differences between populat ions in average direct genetic effects (ADG), average maternal genetic effects (AMG) and direct heterotic effects (DH). The effects of population, sex, group size and interactions were examined. Females were ...
متن کاملMorphometric Traits and Correlation between Body Weight and Body Size Traits in Isa Brown and IlorinEcotype Chickens
Data collected in 2012 on 400 chickens were subjected to two-way analyses of variance to estimatebody weight, morphometric traits as well as the correlationbetween body weight and morphometric traitsin Isa Brown and Ilorin ecotypechickens. The studied morphometric traits were comb length, beak length,head length, neck length, body length, wing length, shank length, thigh length, toe length, bre...
متن کاملBody size and food size in freshwater zooplankton.
We used double-label liquid scintillation techniques to measure the efficiencies with which eight different-sized zooplankton species ingested four cell types relative to a standard cell type (Chlamydomonas). Efficiency ratios (ERs: clearance rate on cell type X / clearance rate on Chlamydomonas) on the three ultraplankton (<5 mum in diameter) cells (a coccoid bacterium and the algae Synechococ...
