Table 1. The explained variations of the PCA models generated from the liver, brain and serum of the male and female mice.

PCA Model Sex Liver Brain Serum
R2X R2X R2X
Uninfected & peak infection Male 0.49 (PC1) 0.35 (PC1)
Female 0.45 (PC1) 0.31 (PC2)
Uninfected & 3 weeks post-parasite clearance Male 0.50 (PC1) 0.30(PC2) 0.09 (PC4)
Female 0.45 (PC1) 0.28 (PC2) 0.26 (PC2)

Twelve models were created. For each sex, liver, brain and serum NMR profiles at the peak infection stage and three weeks post parasite clearance were compared with the uninfected control animals. The Principal Components showing the relevant variation are listed within brackets. No significant infection related variation was observed in the brain while comparing uninfected controls and peak infection animals in both the sexes. Hence, no data is given.
