  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n = total number of samples. p < 0.05 is considered statistically significant
  2. *= indicates varying degrees of statistical significance between inhouse and wild-sourced animals
  3. $= indicates varying degrees of statistical significance between male and female animals.
