Abstract
This review has highlighted the importance of standardizing future investigations to enable more meaningful interstudy comparisons to be made. This report also makes recommendations for factors that should be considered and incorporated into future investigations, both in vitro and in vivo, in order to achieve more standardization. These recommendations are listed below.Keywords
