FIGURE 3.

Graphs A to H present various biomechanical properties of different groups, including Healthy, LR, LR+GM, and WB. A and B: Display circumferential tension against strain. B: Shows average hysteresis areas. C: Energy loss percentage comparison. D: Tangent modulus versus transmural pressure. E and F: Show tangent modulus for lower and higher regions. G: Axial stretch across groups. H: No-load diameter with Outer and inner diameters at zero-load. Each graph uses distinct colors and markers for group differentiation, with error bars indicating variability.

Ex vivo passive pressure myography. Biomechanical testing of excised femoral arteries from healthy control (black), untreated LR-resuscitated T/HS (blue), GM-treated LR-resuscitated T/HS (green), and WB-resuscitated T/HS (red) animals generated the following data: circumferential tension-strain loading curves (A), average hysteresis areas (B), energy loss percentages (C), tangent moduli at physiological pressures (D), tangent moduli of the lower linear region (E) and higher linear region (F), and axial stretch ratios (G). The outer and inner diameters (H) at zero-load were also measured, indicating no differences in wall thickness between groups. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. By one-way ANOVA, † p < 0.05, †† p < 0.01, and ††† p < 0.001 for Healthy vs. LR or LR+GM, # p < 0.05 and ## p < 0.01 WB vs. LR or LR+GM, and $$ p < 0.01 for LR vs. LR+GM.
