Weights and blood glucose levels in PN1 progeny from Grb7 KO x Grb10 KO crosses. Weights of whole body and selected dissected organs, with blood glucose levels were collected at PN1 from progeny of crosses between Grb7 KO and Grb10 KO mice. Data were pooled into four groups for analysis as described in the Methods; wild type (WT), Grb7 KO (7KO), Grb10 KO (10KO) and Grb7:Grb10 double knockout (DKO). For each of the four offspring genotype groups, data are shown for, A Body weight; and B Blood glucose concentration ([glu]). In addition, actual weights of (C) Brain; D Liver; E Lungs; F Heart and G Kidneys are shown above the relative weights of the same organs, expressed as a percentage of body mass (H–L). Values represent means and SEM, tested by one-way ANOVA using Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn’s post hoc statistical tests. Sample sizes were, for body and brain, WT N = 42, Grb7 KO N = 14, Grb10 KO N = 49, Grb7:Grb10 DKO N = 15; kidneys and heart, WT N = 42, Grb7 KO N = 14, Grb10 KO N = 48, Grb7:Grb10 DKO N = 15, liver, WT N = 42, Grb7 KO N = 14, Grb10 KO N = 49, Grb7:Grb10 DKO N = 14; lungs, WT N = 41, Grb7 KO N = 14, Grb10 KO N = 49, Grb7:Grb10 DKO N = 15; glucose levels, WT N = 24, Grb7 KO N = 7, Grb10 KO N = 27, Grb7:Grb10 DKO N = 10. Asterisks indicate p-values, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001
