Embryonic development of NMRI mice: relationship between the weight, age and ossification of embryos
Laboratory Animals
|July 1, 1980
Abstract:
The time and the order of the appearance of the ossification centres were found to be similar in C3H and NMRI mice. Bodyweight comparisons confirmed these results. Location in the right as opposed to the left uterine horn, or in the upper, middle or lower part, was not found to influence the weight of the embryo. Significant differences in the weight of embryos within the same litter were used in investigating the sequence of ossification in embryos. This should prove useful in comparative morphology and teratology.
