TABLE 2

Proposed values for HPGL at various rat ages (see also Fig. 1A)

The HPGL values are calculated according to the following equations: rat between 1 week and 2.5 weeks, HPGL = 263 – 25 * Age [week]; rat of 3.5 weeks, HPGL = 401 – 73 * Age [week]; for rats aged 3 weeks, HPGL is calculated as mean value for the outcomes from both equations. For rats 4–8 weeks, a mean HPGL value of 103 (±19) × 106 cells/g liver is calculated.
