Ranges are 95% confidence intervals for averages calculated
from MCW's PGA
phenotypic data, consisting of 260 males and 155 females
from the following strains: BN, CDF, CD®IGS, FHH,
GH, LE/BluGill, LEW, SHR, SPRD, SS, and WKY. The data
was taken from rats about 10 weeks old, with 21% oxygen
(normal) and 0.4% NaCl diet. |
