Phenotypic characteristics of the five trait-selected Dummerstorf mouse lines and the unselected control line FZTDU. Representative subjects showing the impressive litter size of DUK and DUC (A, B, F, G) and the considerable body size difference at 6 weeks of age between DU6 (C, H) or DU6P (D, H, I) and FZTDU. E Untrained mice undergoing a treadmill running endurance trial and the increased running performance of DUhLB due to selection (J). Stars signify differences (p < 0.05) after conducting a t-test between trait-selected lines and FZTDU. Sample sizes are indicated below tick labels (x-axis)
