Table 2. Statistical comparison of lymphatic and blood vessel counts per square millimeter.
Simple linear regression analysis was conducted on matching histological samples from all treatment groups, whose lymphatic and blood vessels were quantified in counts per square millimeter of mouse back tissue, proximal to the glucose sensor implantation site. The calculated regression coefficient suggests a ratio of lymphatic to blood vessels in a near 1 to 1 correspondence. The significance is expressed as a p-value, with statistical significance achieved at p <0.05. R2 represent the coefficient of determination between the blood and lymphatic vessel variables, as counts per square millimeter. The error distribution of this linear regression model, as described by the model’s residuals, is normally distributed.
