Core body temperature is significantly reduced in mdx mice. Telemetry derived core body temperature are shown. (A) Core body temperature median and interquartile range from C57BL/10 and mdx mice both during the day and during the night (black bar). (B) Boxplots of mean daily and nightly core body temperatures in dystrophic mice. Data are derived from 8 C57BL/10 (B10; 4.4 ± 0.4 months) and 8 mdx mice (6.0 ± 0.3 months). For each mouse data are averaged from three days of observations, data in (A) is mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, ***P < 0.001.
