Mean Hb concentrations [μM, HbO2, deoxy, and total
(THC)] and water (H2O) concentration relative to pure
water (%) for each subject group. Values are determined from
wavelength-dependent absorption values at 674, 803, 849, and 956 or 980
nm. Error bars represent the normalized standard deviation to the mean
for six premenopausal, five HRT, and three postmenopausal subjects.
Confidence values are ≈99% for Hb, HbO2, THC, and
H2O.
