a Overview of the MHU-3 project, in which tail vein blood samples were collected from mice. b Representative pictures of the centrifuge tubes used for measuring tail-HCT values (t-Hct). Red and blue lines indicate the lengths of packed RBCs and whole blood, respectively. c Dot plots of t-Hct at L-17 (left) and R + 2 (right). *p < 0.05. d Dot plots of t-Hct at L + 18. e Time course of the changes in t-Hct at L-17, L + 18 and R + 2. Data from 6 GC-WT and 6 GC-KO mice are shown in the left panel, and those from 3 FL-WT and 1 FL-KO mice are shown in the right panel. The P-value obtained with the two-tailed Wilcoxon signed-rank test for the comparison between the values obtained at L + 18 and R + 2 in FL mice is shown. Dots represent individual animals in (c) (d) and (e). Means are shown in the plots in (d) and (e).
