Animals infused with solutions of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (n = 5), 4 M ethanol in PBS (n = 8), or 2 M sodium acetate in PBS (n = 6). Values are means in μmole/g wet weight ± SEM.

^ap < 0.05 between acetate-infused and saline groups.

^bp < 0.05 between acetate- and ethanol-infused groups, paired t-test with Bonferroni adjustment for multiple group comparisons.
