Data are means ± SE; n = 5 for each group. Transmitter output Tb = 20 and 37°C for vehicle and luzindole is shown. For the statistical analysis, P values were obtained with an ANOVA.
P < 0.05 was considered significant. Any parameter with a significant P value from the ANOVA was then subjected to a Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) test. Groups on the same row labeled with different letters are significantly different according to the Tukey's HSD test.
