a

This is the average time (± standard deviation) to a given result in the absence of CB-18. 

b

This time represents the average time (± standard deviation) to a given result at the lowest CB-18 concentration at which the first statistically significant change occurred. 

c

This is the CB-18 concentration at which the first statistically significant change occurred for a given result relative to the control result. 

d

This time represents the average time (± standard deviation) to a given result at the second statistically significant CB-18 concentration. 

e

This concentration represents the next, or second, statistically significant change that occurred relative to the CB-18 concentration at which the first statistically significant change occurred. 

f

Although the graph of this result appears to be positive, only one of the four replicates became positive during the 4-week incubation. 

g

The time to maximum GI result at 20 μg/ml (17.8 ± 8.8 days) was not significantly different (P = 0.081) from the control result because of the wide replicate-to-replicate variation in this series of bottles.
