Each row gives the output of a 2-way mixed-design ANOVA based on preferences of C57BL/6J (B6) and PWK/PhJ (PWK) mice (means and SE, and concentrations tested are given in Fig. 1). CaLa, calcium lactate; QHCl, quinine hydrochloride; NaLa, sodium lactate; IMP, inosine monophosphate. Degrees of freedom (df) for strain × concentration interaction are always the same as for the main effect of concentration.
