Table 3 Statistical analysis of kurtosis values for brain regions across the two anesthetic groups

From: Disparate volumetric fluid shifts across cerebral tissue compartments with two different anesthetics

	Kurtosis DEXM-I (N = 12)		Kurtosis ISO (N = 12)
Brain region	Mean^a	SE	Mean^a	SE	Difference^b	SE	P value	L95%	U95%
Olfactory bulb	0.908	0.021	0.908	0.021	− 0.001	0.030	0.985	− 3.046	3.045
Cingulate cortex	0.699	0.021	0.656	0.021	0.043	0.030	0.158	− 3.003	3.088
Somatosensory cortex	0.730	0.021	0.699	0.021	0.031	0.030	0.307	− 0.029	0.091
Ventral hippocampus	0.681	0.021	0.639	0.021	0.043	0.030	0.160	− 3.003	3.088

^aData are presented as least square means and SE’s
^bLeast square mean differences compare DEXM-I vs. ISO groups
