Upon detection of pregnancy via ultrasound, estimated gestational age was determined using previously established growth curves (Tardif, Jaquish, Toal, Layne, & Power, 1998). Bodyweight was collected from the female marmosets in their home cage within 1 week of estimated gestational days 60, 90, and 120 (term, ~143 days).
