Figure 3.

Anticoagulation with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or heparin results in lower ALT levels compared with no anticoagulation. Blood samples from mice (n = 14) were obtained without anticoagulation (“serum”), with EDTA (“EDTA-treated plasma”), or with heparin (“heparinized plasma”), respectively, from each mouse. (A) Average ALT levels for each group. (B) Separate ALT levels for each mouse by anticoagulation group. Results expressed as mean ± s.e.m. p values are determined by one-way paired ANOVA with Holm-Šídák’s post hoc test. * p < 0.05.
