Previous suggestions for reducing sample sizes in these experiments have focused on improving experimental designs and methods of statistical analysis; reducing the number of controls (thus, the number of overall animals used) is rarely mentioned. We discuss how the number of current control animals can be reduced, without loss of statistical power, by incorporating information from historical controls, i.e. animals used as controls in similar previous experiments. Using example data from the literature, we describe how to incorporate information from historical controls …
