Impact of body weight and sex in selected dog breeds on the canine adrenal gland dimensions measured by computed tomographic imaging

Table 2 Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsch and Quiot (REGWQ) multiple range test and paired-sample t-test of left and right adrenal volume

The present table shows the mean volumes of the left and right adrenal glands along with the related standard deviation (SD). Results of REGWQ and paired-sample t-test for the volume of the left and right adrenal gland are shown. Means with the same letter were not significantly different. The p-values for the paired-sample t-test lower than 0.05 were representative for significant differences between the sides. N = number of patients
