Fig. B1.
Passive diameters of vessels from the control (CTRL) group and occluded vessel groups upstream and downstream from the ligation. A: passive diameters of vessels from both UP and DN groups were larger than passive diameters of vessels from the CTRL group. B: normalized diastolic diameters of vessels from the CTRL, occluded UP group, and occluded DN groups. Normalized diastolic diameters (diastolic diameter divided by the respective passive diameter) for vessels from the CTRL and UP groups were not significantly different. However, normalized diastolic diameters of vessels from the DN group were significantly lower than those of vessels from the CTRL and UP group. *Significantly different from the other two groups (P < 0.05).
