Within groups, repeated measures general linear modelling (GLM) and mixed effects models will be used to evaluate differences between the different methods of measurement and routinely collected BP data with post hoc tests where significant differences are found.
Based on the log2-tramsformed normalized intensity values, unpaired Student's t-tests (two-tailed, equal variance) was applied to evaluate differences between the means of P38α+/− and P38α−/− samples.
The Student's t test for unpaired data was used to evaluate differences between the means when comparing MDC to AFDC (cells or CM) for the following analyses: percentage of expression in flow cytometry, band intensity in Western blot analyses, protein quantifications in ELISAs, viability assays analyses, BrdU analyses, and migration assays.
Group comparisons were performed to evaluate differences between the control and the early and intermediate AMD groups using 2-sided significance tests.
To evaluate differences between the groups, we compared proportions using chi-square or Fisher's exact test.
Two-way ANOVA was performed to evaluate differences between the groups.
Student's t test was used to evaluate differences between the Pfirrmann grades II and IV groups.
We therefore used the mean CT value to evaluate differences between the three pathological types.
A paired t-test was used to evaluate differences between the two groups.
Student's t-test was performed to evaluate differences between the western blotting analysis results.
The t-test was used to evaluate differences between the group means.
