Fig. 4.

Platelet count in SHRSP fed 10 % soybean oil diet (SOY, control) or 10 % canola oil diet (CAN).

At the 8th week of feeding during the survival experiment, platelet count was determined.

Columns with bars represent means with SEMs of 12 animals. Platelet count was similar in both sexes but was significantly different between the animals given the 2 different diets (p<0.05, two way ANOVA). Platelet count in the males in the CAN group was significantly lower than any other group. Identical alphabetical letters indicate the absence of significant differences between the groups (p>0.05, Tukey’s test). *, Significantly different from the SOY group in the males (p<0.05, unpaired t-test).
