Bold indicates significant values.

^* P values < 0.005 (linear regression) are emphasized in the setting of multiple comparisons.

^† Data from both subsectors pooled together and ratios chosen to identify the sectoral location of least connective tissue density compared to all others.

^‡ Data from the central compared to the peripheral (C/P ratio or CPR) subsector of each sector; ratios chosen to identify the sectoral location where central connective tissue density is greatest and peripheral connective tissue density is least.

^§ Data from the inner, middle, and outer laminar layers pooled together without regard for sectors or subsectors.

^|| Inner/middle and outer/middle ratios were not significantly correlated to global CTVF for any parameter (data not shown).
