Progressive decrease in body weight and unchanged food intake in mice treated with monocrotaline to induce pulmonary hypertension (PH).

<p>A) Images of sample mice in each group at the end of study illustrating that PH mice are smaller than controls. B) Body weight expressed as percentage of value at the onset of study. C) Food intake expressed as mg per g body weight per day in each week of the study period. Data are from mice receiving control and monocrotaline injections for 8 weeks (N = 4 for Control; N = 5 for PH). * <i>P</i><0.05 for control vs. PH.
