  1. Categorical analysis of O-glycans highlighted regional differences in the brain. Data from male mice, presented as mean percent abundance +/− SEM for each category. Significant F- and p-values are indicated in bold, df = (3,9), Fcrit = 3.862, n for CTX = 3, HIP = 2, STR = 4, CBLM = 4. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
