  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 6 for each group; compounds were identified using mass library (NIST 2002). a–eMeans in a row marked by a same superscript letter show significant differences (P < 0.05, using one-way ANOVA with LSD post hoc t-test or Kruskal–Wallis H with post hoc Mann–Whitney U test). BB: BALB/c strain; CC: C57BL/6 strain; BC: hybrid of BALB♀ × C57♂; CB: hybrid of C57♀ × BALB♂; RT: retention time.
