Declarations
:
: The animal study from which samples were collected [] received ethical approval from the University of Liverpool’s Animal Welfare Committee and adhered to the Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and its amendments. The research proposal underwent an ethical review and scoring process before grant submission, followed by additional review from the funding body. After funding approval, a Project Licence (PPL 40/2533), classified as "Mild," was obtained from the Home Office Animal Inspectorate, which involved detailed scrutiny and compliance with the principles of Replace, Reduce, and Refine. The Home Office conducted unannounced visits to ensure adherence to protocols, and animals were humanely euthanised by cervical dislocation after stunning, as required by law. The process was overseen by licensed officials to maintain high standards of animal welfare and ethical compliance.
