Ablation of the Locus Coeruleus Increases Oxidative Stress in Tg-2576 Transgenic but Not Wild-Type Mice

Table 1

The 10 most statistically significant metabolic differences in brain tissue, associated with transgenesis for Tg2576 that were observed after ablation of the locus coeruleus with DSP4 but not in animals in which the locus coeruleus had been left intact. The -value describes the false positive rate, the -value the false discovery rate.
