Abstract excerpt
The detrimental effect of larger body size on reproductive performance has been well documented in mouse models of overgrowth, such as Growth Hormone (GH) transgenics. This study describes the reproductive performance of the High Growth (HG) mouse model of overgrowth. The HG mouse model exhibits overgrowth due to a partially recessive autosomal mutation that increases growth rate and mature body size. The HG...
