Results are mean ± SEM, n = 3–4 pools of bladder tissue per group, for summary statistics samples which had values that were not detected were assigned 1/2 the LOD value. *Indicates statistically significant from vehicle control p ≤ 0.05 as determined by Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's post hoc analysis. Empty cells indicate that congener was not detected above the stated LOD for any of the samples.
