TABLE A1.

Effect of treatment on body and liver weights of rats used to prepare liver tissue slices.

Inducer treatment	Sex	Final weight (g)	Percent change in body weight^&	Liver weight (g) ^&	Liver-to-final body weight ratio^&
Phenobarbital (PB)	Female (n=3)	224 ± 2	5.5 ± 1.3	10.1 ± 0.4	4.5 ± 0.2
Phenobarbital (PB)	Male (n=3)	300 ± 20	−2.0 ± 7.0	16.0 ± 2.0	5.3 ± 0.9
Dexamethasone (DEX)	Female (n=3)	186 ± 6	−12.0 ± 4.4^*	12.1 ± 0.2^*	6.5 ± 0.3^*
Dexamethasone (DEX)	Male (n=3)	249 ± 4	−17.0 ± 0.7^*	16.8 ± 0.6	6.8 ± 0.2^*
Control (CTL)	Female (n=3)	219 ± 4	1.3 ± 3.2	9.2 ± 0.7	4.2 ± 0.3
Control (CTL)	Male (n=2)	300 ± 30	0.0 ± 0.0	13.0 ± 2.0	4.4 ± 0.4

Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. One-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey’s test (SAS software, version 9.3) were used for multiple comparisons.

Percent change in body weight = (Final body weight − Initial body weight)/Initial body weight × 100.

Significantly different from control (CTL) (p < 0.05).
