FIGURE 3.

The sex‐ and age‐related differences in reticulocyte (RETIC) counts. The group mean RETIC counts were statistically higher (#) in females than males in the 3 to 10 years of age groups. In females, the group mean RETIC counts were statistically higher (*) in animals 5 to 10 years of age than in those 2 to <4 years of age. In males, the group mean RETIC counts were statistically higher (*) in animals 4 to 10 years of age than in those 2 to <4 years of age
