Table 1. Presents the Average Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) values at three weeks for DTR Chimeric Mouse Studies. Error values following the ± are standard deviations from the average of the individual treatment group’s MARD values. p-values within the boxes represent the statistical significance of the comparisons of the two treatment groups indicated in the axes, calculated by Mann–Whitney U tests, as non-parametric equivalents to student t-tests, where appropriate. Mann–Whitney U tests were conducted because only the Chimeric No DT injected and C57BL/6 DT injected treatment groups had normally distributed mean MARD values.
