  1. Body weight at the time of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) injection and just before the animals were killed at the termination of the experiment for untreated parous rats (P-Un), parous rats treated with insulin-like growth factor-I (P-IGF-I), and untreated virgin rats that were age matched with the parous animals (AMV).
