Body Weight Measurement
Objective: Assessment of body weight changes in sodium butyrate-treated R6/2 mice compared to controls
This is a Body Weight Measurement protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 1 materials. Extracted from a 2003 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Body weight measurement
Body weight was measured in R6/2 transgenic mice treated with sodium butyrate and control mice
Note: Body weight changes were assessed as part of the treatment evaluation
