Age, weight, and arterial blood gas profiles for Townes AS and SS mice
| AS (n = 6) | SS (n = 6) | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (weeks) | 11.4 ± 0.9 | 11.8 ± 0.5 | = 0.72 |
| Body weight (gm) | 28.9 ± 1.4 | 29.8 ± 1.4 | = 0.60 |
| Total hemoglobin (g/dL) | 12.9 ± 1.7 | 7.3 ± 1.3 | < 0.01 |
| Reticulocyte (% RBCs) | 9.2 ± 3.8 | 57.8 ± 6.1 | < 0.01 |
| PaO2 (mmHg) | 93 ± 2 | 92 ± 1 | a |
| PaCO2 (mmHg) | 38.8 ± 0.8 | 38.2 ± 1 | a |
| SO2 (% Hb) | 97.3 ± 0.5 | 96.2 ± 1 | a |
| pH | 7.44 ± 0.051 | 7.38 ± 0.071 | a |
Data shown as mean ± SEM. Partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2), partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and arterial oxygen saturation (SO2). Statistical differences determined by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test; astatistics are not included for arterial blood gas data collected due to small sample size (AS: n = 3 and SS: n = 2)
