Brachial artery diameter (mm)	4.0 ± 0.1	4.1 ± 0.1	3.9 ± 0.1	3.8 ± 0.2	3.7 ± 0.2	3.7 ± 0.2
FMD (mm change)	0.30 ± 0.03	0.33 ± 0.03	0.15 ± 0.02 ^*	0.25 ± 0.02 ^†	0.26 ± 0.02 ^†	0.27 ± 0.01
Peak shear rate (1/s)	808 ± 67	855 ± 70	840 ± 65	890 ± 68	941 ± 68	906 ± 53
GTN dilation (% change)	25 ± 1	24 ± 1	21 ± 2	22 ± 2	26 ± 2	24 ± 1
