Table 2.
Average plucking force (40 HFs per treatment; n = 3 experiments) required to pluck hairs from pig skin following treatment with a 10 : 1 ratio of Trichogen® (5%)/climbazole (0.5%) or vehicle (50% EtOH). Pairwise comparisons of the treatments averaged over the 4 days gave a significant difference between the test material and vehicle, P = 0.02
