*Except for sex, which was evaluated using the chi-squared test, the Mann–Whitney U-test was used to test for differences between monkeys with and without drusen. Data represents the mean ± one standard deviation. WBC, white blood cells; RBC, red blood cells; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; GOT, glutamate oxaloactetate transaminase; GPT, guanine phosphoribosyl transferase; CRP, C-reactive protein.
