FIG. 10.

Fine motor food retrieval times before and after injection. Four rhesus monkeys had fine motor skill timed tests performed on the indicated days before and after HLV injection of saline. The injection volume was 0.45 ml/ml limb volume and the injection rate was 2.0 ml/sec. The tourniquet was inflated to a pressure of 450 mmHg and left inflated for 2 min after the injection. For each test, animals repeated the food retrieval task 5 to 10 times over a 5-min period. The average food retrieval time at each time point is shown. Statistical analysis of the data showed that there was no variation in each animal's food retrieval times over the course of the study (p = 0.415 for monkey 1, p = 0.632 for monkey 2, p = 0.961 for monkey 3, and p = 0.263 for monkey 4).
