Values are mean ± SEM of 22 volunteers. Area under curve (AUC), incremental area under curve (IAUC), time to reach maximum pressure (T_max), maximum pressure (P_max), time to reach minimum pressure (T_min) and minimum pressure (P_min). AUC and IAUC are expressed as mmHg.minutes; T_max and T_min are in minutes while P_min and P_max are in mmHg.
