I am designing a study in which i will have 40 participants, looking through literature similar studies have used between 8 to 50 participants. How do i justify my choice of 40 participants using the literature available?
Dr. Ndlovu,
What sort of sampling strategy was applied? Was the total number of participants determined based on (some kind of) minimum sample size calculation?
Best regards, I.H.
Instead of checking only the mRNA level, I want to check the active protein level of MMP-1 in Liver tissue from mice. How can I do that?
