Figure 5. Increased levels of branched chain amino acids in GF NOD mice.

Relative concentrations of branched chain amino acids mice at 4, 9 and 23 weeks. (Male n = 7–11. Female n = 9–14.) Data are presented as mean ±s.e.m. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 vs CONV-R mice determined by Student's t-test.
