Values reported as g/g/min. Given that the blood density is 1.06 g/mL (26), values in units of g/g/min and mL/g/min are essentially equal.

Values are of the combined choroid and sclera, probably reducing the quantitative value substantially.

Ketamine/xylazine were also given during surgery, and may have had a lingering effect on blood flow.
