Rat Body Weight Data Glioblastoma Model

Rat body weight data from a intracranial Glioblastoma model. 63 unique animals in three treatment groups (Control, Microinjection and Resection) were monitored on a daily basis. The general model indicates that animal well-being is not substantially impaired until a certain time-point at around 12-16 days is reached. Here, most animals decompensate rapidly and had to be euthanized because the defined humane endpoint for the study was reached. The maximum follow-up is 28 days, although most animals had to be euthanized well before that. In the resection group day 8 is the day of operation. These animals survive longer but a small drop in body weight can be seen after day 8, together with rapid recovery.
