Figure 2

A. Shows the % of normalised or Nett disintegration of the three grades of mucin in the in vitro study; B. Shows the % Nett disintegration of the three grades of mucin in the in vivo study; C. Is a comparison of normalised disintegration of mucin from in vitro with in vivo studies; D. Shows how the in vitro % disintegration of mucin is related to hardness index (HI) in 36 patient mucin, as the HI increases, the % disintegration of mucin drops in a linear fashion; SM = soft mucin; SHM = semi hard mucin; HD = hard mucin.
