(a) Plot of T2 values for three different muscle samples. (b) The characteristic hydration levels for muscle samples of interest. SOL – soleus, EDL – extensor digitorum longus, BFM – biceps femoris muscle. All animals received a 1 mL bolus treatment as described. For each treatment of all muscles, n = 5. Two sets of p-values were calculated to determine treatment significance. P188, between shocked LR and P188-treated muscle samples; Dextran, between shocked LR and Dextran-treated muscle samples. The first set is: p = 0.046 (SOL), p = 0.042 (EDL) and p = 0.952 (BFM). The second set of p- values is: p = 0.728 (SOL), p = 0788 (EDL) and p = 0.578 (BFM)
