	T₁ (ms)	T₂ (ms)	k_m (s⁻¹)	ADC (× 10⁻⁴ mm²/s)	FCD (mM)
Control	1208 ± 101	55.0 ± 11.1	0.87 ± 0.22	9.29 ± 1.00	201.8 ± 33.8
18-hr Trypsin	1527 ± 107^*	66.5 ± 10.8^*	0.64 ± 0.16^*	11.34 ± 0.63^*	74.9 ± 58.0^*

* p < 0.05 for control vs. trypsin- or control vs. collagenase-digested samples.

Each of the 3 sample sets consisted of 40 samples
