highly significantp = 9·10 -5actually significant

In contrast, the partial correlation between body mass and blood 5-HT concentration controlling for blood sample volume was highly significant ( r = -0.495, p = 9·10 -5 ).

ANOVA showed significant litter effects on body mass ( F 5,57 = 40.3, p < 10 -6 ), brain mass ( F 5,57 = 15.5, p < 10 -6 ), hippocampal volume ( F 1,15 = 7.9, p = 0.013), blood tryptophan levels ( F 5,52 = 10.8, p < 10 -6 ), blood 5-HT levels ( F 5,52 = 16.0, p < 10 -6 ), and a near-significant litter effect on gut length ( F 5,27 = 2.54, p = 0.052).

marginally significantno p-value reported

The marginally significant sex difference between the blood 5-HT/tryptophan ratios could be spurious considering the large number of tests.
