case1102 R Documentation
The Blood–Brain Barrier
Description
The human brain is protected from bacteria and toxins, which course
through the blood–stream, by a single layer of cells called the
blood–brain barrier. These data come from an experiment (on rats,
which possess a similar barrier) to study a method of disrupting the
barrier by infusing a solution of concentrated sugars.
Usage
case1102
Format
A data frame with 34 observations on the following 9 variables.
BrainBrain tumor count (per gm)
LiverLiver count (per gm)
TimeSacrifice time (in hours)
TreatTreatment received
DaysDays post inoculation
SexSex of the rat
WeightInitial weight (in grams)
LossWeight loss (in grams)
TumorTumor weight (in 10^{-4} grams)
