mice/group. “0”: no loss of whiskers; “+”: loss of whiskers.
Based on two-sided Fisher’s exact test, the D-gal group with 6/12 whisker loss differed significantly from the Veh group with 0/12 whisker loss (), from each of the BYPA, BYP, BYA, BPA, and YPA extract-treated groups showing 0/12 whisker loss (), and from a combined herbal-treated group with 0/60 whisker loss (). Photographs of representative mice from the different treatment groups are illustrated in Figure 3.
