| Sheep (n = 4) | Goat (n = 4) | t-Test | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capillary density (number per area of tissue),* cm−2 | 223,100 ± 53,200 | 256,100 ± 106,600 | t6 = 0.54, P = 0.61 |
| Capillary density (number per area of fiber),* cm−2 | 292,200 ± 89,300 | 338,100 ± 143,100 | t6 = 0.53, P = 0.61 |
| Capillary lumen radius,† cm | 0.00034 ± 0.00006 | 0.00037 ± 0.00006 | t6 = 0.77, P = 0.47 |
| Tissue cylinder radius,† cm | 0.0012 ± 0.0002 | 0.0012 ± 0.0003 | t6 = 0.26, P = 0.81 |
Values are means ± 95% CI.
1 cm−2 = 0.01 mm−2.
