This study provides reference values for changes in mouse lung biomechanics from 2 to 23 wk of age. There are rapid developmental changes in lung structure and function of male and female mice between the ages of 3 and 8 wk. Male mice become noticeably heavier than female mice at or about 5 wk of age. We identified that differences in normal lung function measurements are likely weight-based, not sex-based.
