In laboratories 2 and 7, the absolute GP weights decreased but did not achieve significance.
The SVCG achieved marginal significance using the t -test approach but was not significant with the Dunnett’s approach.
When the data were pooled across the participating laboratories, all five mandatory end points achieved statistical significance using the pairwise comparison approach from 10 mg VIN/kg bw/day when using 0.2 mg TP/kg bw/day, and although the GP response was marginally insignificant, the other four mandatory end points achieved significance from 30 mg VIN/kg bw/day when using 0.4 mg TP/kg bw/day.
