Table 2.

Equilibrium and rapid modulii ratios for tension tests (after digest or control buffer/ before digest or buffer) for both control and cB specimens.

	Eeq (38 hr)/ Eeq (0 hr)	E1rapid (38 hr)/ E1rapid (0 hr)	E2rapid (38 hr)/ E2rapid (0 hr)	E3rapid (38 hr)/ E3rapid (0 hr)

CON	1.01 ± 0.10 (N = 3)	1.09 ± 0.18 (N = 8)	1.19 ± 0.22 (N = 8)	1.20 ± 0.21 (N = 8)
cB	1.02 ± 0.22 (N = 7)	0.98 ± 0.16 (N = 9)	1.02 ± 0.18 (N = 9)	1.03 ± 0.17 (N = 9)

cB was not different from 1 for any of the four modulii. There was no difference in the modulii between before and after cB digest. CON was not different from cB for any of the four modulii.
