Partial η2 (a) is a measure of effect size between the groups (control and 4& 8wks CCl4) created by Univariate analysis in a general linear model (GLM).
Partial η2 (b) is a measure of effect size between the groups (control, 8wks CCl4, and 2 & 4wks reversion) created by Univariate analysis in a general linear model (GLM).
