Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds and body weights at 10 months of age. a Mean ABR thresholds (± standard errors of the mean) at 10 months. ABR thresholds for both wild-type (WT) and Fat-1 transgenic mice (Fat-1) were increased when compared to those of other groups (13 and 16–17 months) due to unknown reasons. The animal numbers were as follows: WT, n = 9 and Fat-1, n = 10. Although there were no significant differences in stimulus frequency as indicated in the Bonferroni post hoc test, the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the main effect (strain) was statistically significant. b Body weights at 10 months (WT, n = 9; Fat-1, n = 10). P values < 0.05 were considered to statistically significant (*). ns no significant difference
