Comparison of critical variables characterizing the response of bovine mesenteric postnodal lymphatic vessels pooled over all transmural pressure levels

Group	Diastolic Tone	Diastolic Volume, % of PV	Systolic Volume, % of PV	Stroke Volume, % of PV	Ejection Fraction	Frequency, min−1	Fractional Pump Flow, min−1
Sham	5.57 ± 1.53	89.49 ± 2.83	47.61 ± 5.93	41.87 ± 6.88	0.47 ± 0.06	5.42 ± 0.81	2.39 ± 0.32
MVH	2.25 ± 1.42	95.64 ± 2.62	59.50 ± 5.49	36.14 ± 6.37	0.38 ± 0.06	2.98 ± 0.75*	1.14 ± 0.30*

Data are presented as means ± SE. Contraction frequency and fractional pump flow were significantly decreased in microvascular hypertension group (MVH; n = 7) compared to Sham (n = 6).

^*P < 0.05 vs. Sham.

PV, passive volume.
