Female and male MRL/MpJ-Faslpr/J mice were weighed the same day each week from weaning until 18 weeks of age. Mice were fed a diet containing 6% fat (LabDiet® 5K52 formulation). Cohorts began with 40 mice per sex; mice were removed from the weighing study as disease symptoms developed. Values represent mean and one standard deviation. Ages are ± 3 days.
