What did studies of milk-sibling mating find?

3

Studies of milk-sibling mating measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are liver pathology (1 study), obesity (1) and lifespan (1).

Liver pathology

1 study

  1. Milk-sibling mating increases liver pathology in mice (F2 offspring of milk-sibling matings compared with control matings).

    “Histopathological examination of liver tissues revealed abnormal findings in F2 milk-sibling group.”

Obesity

1 study

  1. Milk-sibling mating increases obesity in mice (F2 offspring of milk-sibling matings compared with control matings).

    “they were more obese during the aging period.”

Lifespan

1 study

  1. Milk-sibling mating shortens lifespan in mice (F2 offspring of milk-sibling matings compared with control matings) (387 vs 590 days).

    “The lifespan in the F2 milk-sibling group was shorter than the control group (387 vs 590 days, p = 0.011)”
