A: Estimated mean percentages and ranges for new cell phenotypes and cell combinations based on binomial regression modeling. B: Above, mean percentages of BrdU+ cell totals and SEMs for NG2+ and NG2− cell types and cell combinations from each group of experimental exercise monkeys. Cell counts are in parentheses and italicized. Below, P values of significant differences in paired comparisons of exercise groups. Calculated P-values correspond to comparing the log odds ratios resulting from binomial regression analysis.
P = 0.05 −0.01
P > 0.01. OC, older control group; OR, older runner group; ORS, older run-stop group; YC, younger control group; YR, younger runner group; YRS, younger run-stop group; n = 4 except YC where n = 3.
