  • OR expression frequencies are presented as mean OR+ cells ± SD per hemisection (n = 48), Student's t test, two tailed. Similar frequencies in control and Cyp26B1 mice are indicated with —; higher and lower frequencies in Cyp26B1 mice compared with control mice are indicated with ↑ and ↓, respectively.
