We compared all of the individual organ weights on appendix table 5 in the submission to FDA (Vol 1, pp. 222-226) with the original data on the gross pathology sheets. A total of eleven (11) errors were noted in transcribing the raw data from the pathology sheets, to the tables in the submission to FDA.
