Table 1.

Absolute baseline values of blood flow (BF) and oxygen consumption rate ($\dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_2$) calibrated by venous occlusion (VO) and arterial occlusion (AO) protocols.

Subject	VO calibrated optical BF ($\mathrm{ml}/100\mathrm{ml}/\min$)	VO calibrated strain gauge venous plethysmography (SGVP) BF ($\mathrm{ml}/100\mathrm{ml}/\min$)	AO calibrated optical $\dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_2$ ($\mathrm{ml}{\mathrm{O}}_2/100\mathrm{g}/\min$)
1	$1.04\pm 0.06$	$1.18\pm 0.05$	0.009

4	$0.61\pm 0.13$	$1.29\pm 0.08$	0.057
5	$0.62\pm 0.16$	$1.03\pm 0.06$	0.030
6	$0.35\pm 0.16$	$0.57\pm 0.09$	0.036

8	$0.46\pm 0.01$	$0.41\pm 0.03$	0.027
9	$0.95\pm 0.35$	$1.04\pm 0.10$	0.059
10	$1.07\pm 0.32$	$1.01\pm 0.06$	0.068
Group mean	$0.88\pm 0.35$	$1.13\pm 0.63$	$0.049\pm 0.033$

BF is shown as the $\text{mean}\pm \text{standard deviation}$ of the three VO measurements, while $\dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_2$ is shown as a single measurement only. Group values are presented as $\text{means}\pm \text{standard errors}$.
