From: 3D-printed lightweight dorsal skin fold chambers from PEEK reduce chamber-related animal distress
Changes in body weight and faecal corticosterone metabolite (FCM) concentrations after dorsal skinfold chamber implantation. Individual values are given over time in a preoperative phase (p), early postoperative phase (e), middle postoperative phase (m) and late postoperative (l) phase. Body weight change (A) between each time point was analysed by RM one-way ANOVA on ranks followed by Dunn’s correction, and the difference between each group was analysed by unpaired t test followed by two-tailed P value tests. FCM concentrations (B) between each time point was analysed by Friedman test followed by Dunn’s correction, and the difference between each group was analysed by unpaired t test followed by two-tailed P value tests. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.05; PEEK: n = 6, titanium: n = 6.
