N=2 for the treated group and N=3 for the control group. Therefore, statistical analysis was not performed. Only the mean is reported for the treated group.
N=4 in both treated and control groups at 30 min.
p < 0.05 when comparing treated to control. Statistical analysis was applied only to the 30 minute data as the number of animals in each group at 5 minutes, after elimination of animals with bad injections, was too small.
p < 0.05. Note that the level of tracer uptake is higher in the control rather than in the treated group.
%ID/g = % injected dose per gram; SD = standard deviation
