Figure 3From: Constraint and cost of oxidative stress on reproduction: correlative evidence in laboratory mice and review of the literatureFemale reproductive output and changes in oxidative damage during reproduction (n = 23). Change in plasmatic oxidative damage (d-ROMs) during reproduction is positively related to litter size recorded at weaning (ANCOVA, F = 19.81, df = 1, p <0.001). Successful females (black dots) and unsuccessful females (black triangle) are shown but the relationship remains significant without unsuccessful females (ANCOVA, F = 7.24, df = 1, p = 0.016).Back to article page
