Area under the Curve (AUC) analysis for C57BL/6 N mice. (A) AUC scores for C57BL/6 N mice that were treated with carprofen (10 and 25 mg/kg), meloxicam (2 and 5 mg/kg) and buprenorphine (0.1 mg/kg). For each condition, the scores of individual mice are presented as a dot plot with injectable analgesics indicated by the green circles and analgesics administered through the water supply as orange circles. In contrast with CD-1 mice, MGS scores for the carprofen (25 mg/kg) and meloxicam (5 mg/kg) groups were significantly lower than control mice. (B) Overall higher MGS scores were found in CD-1 control mice when compared with C57BL/6 N mice. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
