  • 2-a Corrected for inflow and outflow catheters, with the deconvolution procedure.

  • 2-b Ratio of cellular water to sinusoidal plasma space; θ was calculated as = γD20 × [fp (1 − Hct) + frHct]/[fp (1 − Hct)] − γSuc, where fp and fr are the water contents of plasma and RBC, respectively.

  • 2-c Data for SDR rats were taken from Geng et al.(1995b).

  • 2-d P < .05, different from SDR.
