Abstract excerpt

Effects of a high-energy diet on reproduction were studied in 300 mice from lines selected for litter size and(or) 6-wk BW (L+, increased litter size; W+, increased body weight; L+W-, increased litter size and decreased body weight; L-W+, decreased litter size and increased body weight; and K, randomly selected control).
