  1. aMouse #2 was sacrificed at day 20 due to malnourishment, which was believed to be related to a dental abnormality. This mouse had no signs of arthritis on day 20. bArthritis disease scoring is based on a 3-point scale for each paw: 0 = no inflammation, 1 = inflammation confined to digits, 2 = mild swelling of paw, and 3 = severe swelling encompassing paw, ankle, wrist, and/or knee joints. Scores shown for individual dates are in the following order: right fore paw, left fore paw, right hind paw, and left hind paw.
