  1. Data are shown as means ± SD of three or more experiments from WT and Neudesin KO mice at 8 weeks of age.
  2. RBC red blood cell count, Hb hemoglobin, Ht hematocrit, MCH mean corpuscular hemoglobin, MCV mean corpuscular volume, WBC white blood cell count, PLT platelet count.
  3. *P < 0.05 by unpaired t-test.
