Results of two-way ANOVA (p values)
    Main effect for selenium 0.01 0.24
    Main effect for smoking 0.59 < 0.001
    Selenium × Smoking interaction 0.29 0.84

Note. Results are means ± SEM. Significant differences in smoke-exposed mice for the same selenium level are indicated with an asterisk (*); for differences due to dietary selenium, values with different superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05).
