Differences of FA vapor levels released from embalmed cadavers of each dissection stage and released by subcutaneous adipose tissues of the thoracoabdominal region in male and female. a The level of FA vapor released from SI, FR, TO1, and TO2 male and female cadavers was compared to that released from ND male and female cadavers. The increase of FA levels was found in all dissected-male and female cadavers as compared to ND. In particular, such increase was significant in SI, FR, and TO2 male cadavers. However, the differences were not significant in female cadavers. N = 6 (Male = 3, Female = 3), **P < 0.05 relative to ND, ***P < 0.01 relative to ND. Also, FA vapor levels were compared between male and female cadavers in each dissection stage. Higher levels of FA vapor were released from female cadavers than male cadavers, although the differences were not significant. b Comparison of the vapor level of FA released from subcutaneous adipose tissues of the thoracoabdominal region isolated from embalmed male and female cadavers. Higher level of FA vapor was released from female cadavers than male cadavers, but the difference was not significant
