In the first experiment, body weight is found to be slightly but significantly lower in the Risperidone-treated rats as a function of age. Similar to the first experiment, age-dependent differences in body weight are also observed between the three treatment groups in the second locomotor experiment. Rats treated with the 3.0 mg/kg dose of Risperidone weigh less than vehicle-treated rats on postnatal days 35, 38, and 41. The third locomotor experiment involves larger, mixed-sex litters in contrast to the smaller, single-sex litters used in the first two experiments. As noted for the first two experiments, rats treated with Risperidone in the third experiment gain less weight in an age-dependent manner^[4].
