Longitudinal changes of body weight (A and C) and plasma glucose concentration (B) after BSE infection.

<p>Depicted are the body weights (A) and plasma glucose (B) of orally (n = 5, group B) and i.c. (n = 6, group A) infected animals compared with MOCK controls (n = 5–6, group K). The same MOCK group was used for comparisons with the oral and i.c. group. (C) Individual longitudinal body weights of two orally BSE-infected macaques of group C (C1 and C4) and a MOCK control animal. * - <i>p</i><0.05, ** - <i>p</i><0.001 († - <i>p</i><0.05, compared to baseline of the orally-infected group; Wilcoxon signed-rank test).
