p2 - one 24 hour period of 50% oxygen followed by a 24 hour period of 10% oxygen and processed following the 10% oxygen cycle.
p7 – cycles repeated between 24 hours of 50% oxygen and 24 hours of 10% oxygen until day 7; analysis performed followed 50% oxygen (reformatted from data from Molecular Vision2004; 10:512–20, http://www.molvis.org/molvis/v10/a63).
