highly significantP = 0.022
Since DXM likely counteracted some effects of Tg infection, we performed a few additional control tests (i) administration of DXM at the 2nd month of the infection where the enhanced WK just became highly significant: There were no significant effects on the enhanced WK indicating time course‐specific effect of DXM ( P = 0.022); (ii) administration of DXM in control uninfected mice: a slight and statistically non‐significant decrease in WK was noticed (Figure 6 ), indicating that the counteracting effect of DXM on WK was specific to Tg infection.
