Descriptive statistics of animals and tissue
| Male (n = 3) | Female (n = 5) | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight (g) | 27.77 ± 2.37 | 19.74 ± 1.05 | p = 0.0005 *** |
| Age (d) # | 87.67 ± 2.52 | 85.00 ± 0.00 | p = 0.2079 ns |
| Tissue slice area (mm2) | 42.17 ± 0.86 | 42.03 ± 1.25 | p = 0.8739 ns |
All statistics are mean ± SD. Male and female groups were compared with an unpaired t test (# with a Welch’s correction when variances were inhomogeneous between groups); ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant.
