The ANOVA test produced a p-value of 1.4E-16, which is less than .05 so it shows statistical significance between the groups. To follow up with this we performed a Bonferroni Correction, doing t-tests between the individual groups. The results of this were: 0mg vs 5mg = 8.6E-7, 0mg vs 10mg = 9.95E-6, 0mg vs 15mg = 1.39E-8, 5mg vs 10mg = 3.02E-5, 5mg vs 15mg = 1.57E-8, 10mg vs 15mg = 6.48E-08. Taking .05 and dividing by the number of comparisons (6) we get .00833, because all t-test values were less than .00833, we can say there was a statistically significant difference between each group comparison. Experiment 2 For the rat experiment, we performed a t-test because we only had two groups. The t-test produced a p-value of .867, showing that there was not a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups. Summary/Discussion Although we did not get statistically significant results in the rat study, we did get statistically significant results in the human study. There was a significant difference in the Inflammotin levels between each group. This tells us that the LPS treatment did increase inflammotin levels in people. it can be inferred that the Inflammotin levels would keep increasing at an exponential rate until the system reaches the body's capacity for producing the protein. according to the overall ANOVA and tests, we can be certain that the size of dosage has an impact on the levels of inflammotin in humans, but not in rats.
