| Trait | CRM-Model group | Non-CRM-Model group | CRM-Normal group | Non-CRM-Normal group |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physiological elastic modulus (MPa)abc | 9.68 ± 4.55df | 5.34 ± 2.51g | 2.23 ± 1.11 | 2.05 ± 1.02 |
| Max elastic modulus (MPa)b | 16.51 ± 10.38f | 12.05 ± 8.06 | 9.16 ± 4.01 | 8.04 ± 1.97 |
| Max strain (%)b | 65.54 ± 10.15f | 71.43 ± 16.53g | 96.52 ± 12.07 | 100.14 ± 20.09 |

Two-way ANOVA results:
a denotes significant P < 0.05 CRM × Model interaction.
b denotes P < 0.05 significance of model versus normal controls (model effects).
c denotes P < 0.05 significance of CRM versus Non-CRM (treatment effects).
d denotes P < 0.05 significance of comparisons for CRM versus Non-CRM within model group.
f denotes P < 0.05 significance of comparisons of model group versus normal group treated with CRM.
g denotes P < 0.05 significance of comparisons of model group versus normal group treated without CRM.
