Stat Help

[SPSS SPSS]

Hi everybody:

  I need a statistical consult. My wife is doing her MA in Vet. Med. and we want to find a statistical technique by which we analyze the data. I would appreciate if you can help me find that technique. I am explaining the three things that need to be done below. I would appreciate if you can help with your experience. Thanks alot.

    The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of four different kinds of anticoagulants (Heparin, EDTA, Oxalate, and Citrate) on four blood enzymes (ALT, AST, CK, and ALP) in 17 sheep.

  An anticoagulant is a substance that prevents the clotting of blood. The four anticoagulants are added to each blood enzyme to see whether this enzyme will increase or decrease. The serum (which is the fluid portion of the blood without adding any coagulant) is constant and no anticoagulants are added to it. Now, the serum is constant and we can judge the increase or the decrease in any enzyme by looking at the value of the serum. Let’s see an example.

  Part I: This is an example of an enzyme (ALP) and we want to see what happens when we add the four anticoagulants (H, E, O, and C) to this blood enzyme. The serum, as explained above, is constant and it should be the control through which we realize the resulting change. For example, If ALP in Serum in sheep 1 is 10.58 (constant), we would like to see what the four anticoagulants did for the amount of the enzyme. In other words, in sheep 1, do these four anticoagulants affect the ALP amount in the blood and in what way? We would like to know the effect the four anticoagulants on the amount of the enzyme compared to its amount in Serum.

    35.08
    36.38
    32.06
    17.09
    38.88
    32.74



  In this table, we would like to see what happened to the enzyme (ALP) after one week and after one month. In other words, we would like to see how the one-week measurement and the one-month measurement are different from the At-Once. We want to compare the S in both one week and one week to the S in At Once, the H in both one week and one month to the H in At Once, the E in both one week and one month to the E in At Once, and so on so forth.


  What do you think the best way to code the data in SPSS? Thanks a lot.
