Table 3 Stepwise multiple regression models predicting parameters of phagocyte activity in greater mouse-eared bats (Myotis myotis), noctules (Nyctalus noctula) and laboratory BALB/C mice (Mus musculus). Legend: Hb = haemoglobin, Cl = chloride, Glu = glucose, tCO2 = total dissolved carbon dioxide, WBC = white blood cell count, Tstart = time-to-start of phagocyte respiratory burst response, Tpeak = time-to-peak of phagocyte respiratory burst response, Tend = time-to-end of phagocyte respiratory burst response, Peak = peak intensity of phagocyte respiratory burst, Integral = total phagocyte capacity, Adjusted Integral = total phagocyte capacity recalculated for the white blood cell count; * = p < 0.05 (not significant after Bonferroni correction), ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001

From: Phagocyte activity reflects mammalian homeo- and hetero-thermic physiological states
