Summary of regression analysis data (elastic modulus versus fluorescence intensity) for the aorta and vena cava (adventitial and intimal regions only)

Individual regression details
Summary	R ²
Aorta	0.510
Vena cava	0.697
	Slope coefficient
Aorta	−0.258
Vena cava	−0.312
	Intercept coefficient
Aorta	39.803
Vena cava	46.773
Slope comparison: ANOVA
F	Probability
0.197	0.663
Common slope = −0.276
Intercept comparison: ANOVA
F	Probability
1.788	0.198
Common intercept = 42.478

ANOVA analysis was used to test whether the two datasets shared a common slope and intercept. A common slope and intercept were calculated as the ANOVA analysis showed P > 0.05 for both the slope and intercept and therefore the null hypothesis was not rejected.
