  1. WT and Cpeb3-mutant female mice of 3-month-old were mated with WT 2–3-month-old C57BL/6 J male mice that had proven normal fecundity until the female mice were 9-month-old. Female mice with vaginal plug and later visibly growing abdomen were included in this assessment. The numbers of pups per litter or pups (both alive and dead) were assessed. Data were represented as the mean ± SD. ****P < 0.0001.
