From: CD38 in the nucleus accumbens and oxytocin are related to paternal behavior in mice

  1. P value (1) represents two-tailed P values by Fisher’s exact test between the first row (the CD38+/+/CD38+/+ pair) and each of the other rows. P value (2) represents two-tailed P value by Fisher’s exact test between the second (the CD38−/−/CD38−/− pair) and seventh row (the CD38−/− +OT/CD38−/− +OT pair).
