Comparison of RNA integrity number (RIN) values of pancreatic RNA samples from healthy rats following different excision techniques and extraction protocols demonstrated as (A) a heat map with the three RIN values of each protocol reported inside boxes and (B) a bar graph showing the significant difference in RNA integrity between the optimized and standard protocols using the standard one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for RNA analysis followed by Fisher’s LSD test. ns, non-significant (p > 0.05) or significant at ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
