Data shown as mean±SD of the percentage of change of the permeability tensor diagonal elements k 11, k 22, and k 33 based on simulations of different vascular remodeling scenarios using tissue under basal conditions: (1) dilation of all microvessels comprising the microvasculature by incrementing their diameter by 10%, 20%, and 30%; (2) dilation of the 10%, 20%, and 30% of microvessels by increasing their diameter by 30%; (3) constriction of all microvessels comprising the microvasculature by incrementing their diameter by 10%, 20%, and 30%; (4) constriction of the 10%, 20%, and 30% of microvessels by decreasing their diameters by 20%; and (5) pruning of the 10%, 20%, and 30% of the smallest microvessels of the microvasculature.
