Methods
Experimental procedures	7	For each experiment and each experimental group, including controls, provide precise details of all procedures carried out. For example
		(a) How (e.g., drug formulation and dose, site and route of administration, anesthesia, and analgesia used [including monitoring], surgical procedure, method of euthanasia). Provide details of any specialist equipment used, including supplier (s)	161 (100)	0	1 (0.97-1)
