Table 4.
Coefficients of ANOVA analysis for relative tissue weights (tissue/body weight) in different groups taken on day 14 post exposure [(values are modified based on pre-exposure and control values to remove the effects of confounding variables. Combined effects (synergism, antagonism) were calculated as described in a study by Piggott et al. (30).]
Tissue | Noise group | Toluene group | Combined group | Interaction type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Heart | 0.075±0.279 | -0.146±0.279 | 0.222±0.279 | +Synergism |
Lung | -0.416±0.506 | 0.488±0.506 | 0.120±0.506 | -Antagonism |
Spleen | -0.264±0.116 | 0.121±0.116 | 0.203±0.116 | +Synergism |
Stomach | -1.611±0.891 | 0.056±0.891 | 0.850±0.891 | +Synergism |
All values are the coefficient value ± SE (standard error of coefficient)
