Fig 7. Changes in functional capillary density (FCD) relative to baseline after hypervolemic infusion, of LtEc or PEG-LtEc.

FCD was studied at plasma protein concentration to 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 g/dL. FCD (capillaries per unit of area, cm⁻¹) at baseline for LtEc were 119 ± 14, and for PEG-LtEc were 116 ± 16, respectively. †, P < 0.05 relative to baseline; ‡, P < 0.05 compared to LtEc.
