  • 1-a Number to the left of comma refers to the total number of animals used, although the number to the right of the comma refers to the total number of vascular tissues used. All statistical comparisons were based on the total number of tissues.

  • 1-b Denotes statistically significant difference from corresponding PE value, P < .05, Student’s t test for paired samples.
