Details of BA flow-mediated, endothelium-dependent dilation and GTN-mediated, endothelium-independent dilation in the dominant and nondominant arm in a group of healthy subjects

	BA
	Dominant	Nondominant	P Value
Diameter, mm	4.0 ± 0.5	4.1 ± 0.6	0.76
Peak FMD diameter, mm	4.3 ± 0.5	4.3 ± 0.6	0.80
Time to peak diameter, s	60 ± 37	66 ± 37	0.25
FMD, %	6.0 ± 2.8	5.9 ± 3.0	0.80
SRAUC*, s (103)	20.6 ± 13.8	20.4 ± 8.9	0.30

Values are means ± SD; n = 42 subjects. The SR_AUC is presented, being the stimulus for arterial dilation during the FMD-response.

^*Due to technical problems, we could not record the BA SR_AUC in 4 subjects.
