The body weight and nose to anus length were quantified weekly. The weight of the mice was obtained with a scale (Ohaus® Triple Beam 700/800 series). The nose to anus length was measured with a fiberglass tape. From these parameters, the body mass index (BMI) was calculated via the following formula: [weight (g)/length (cm)2∗100] [39].
