Values are the number of mice out of 6 at each observation point. NMG, the number that developed non-birefringent mucin gel; NLC, non-birefringent liquid crystals; CLC1, conic liquid crystals; CLC2, circular liquid crystals; NTC, non-birefringent tubular crystals; RCC, representative ChM crystals; ACC, amorphous ChM crystals; ASS1, amorphous sandy stones; ASS2, agglomerated sandy stones; RGS, representative gallstones
