Data are means± SEM as analyzed by two-way ANOVA with a Holm-Sidak post hoc analysis (Alb-Cre group compared to PTENf/f group).

Values are mean (SEM); statistical analysis performed by two-way ANOVA followed by Holm-Sidak analysis.

Letter with similar superscripts (a, b, c) denote significant difference of P<0.05.
