Fig. 1. Scatter plot of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and body mass
(Mb) of female C57BL6/J mice during a 30-day measurement
period starting 10 days after weaning. The trend-line
(y=0.0054x+0.0639) is for females that successfully gave
birth to pups (N=265, r2=6.9%,
P<0.001). There was no association between BMR and
Mb for unsuccessful females (N=39;
r2=0.3%, P=0.748).
