Factors affecting the HIH response in male C57BL/6 mice.

Summary of effects found to influence the outcome of the challenge in Experiment 2 according to an analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA). Incrementing a factor by the value in parenthesis, while all other factors remain constant, is estimated to increase the HIH response by the corresponding effect size; i.e. a mouse housed isolated for an additional 10 days is estimated to increase its HIH in response by, on average, 0.51°C. The linear relation is not expected to hold beyond the extreme bounds of the data material. The effects should therefore not be extrapolated past the minimum/maximum values of the factors presented in Tables 2 and 3.Factors affecting the HIH response in male C57BL/6 mice.
