Results are mean ± SEM. Results of group comparisons made using ANOVA are indicated in parentheses after parameter. ns indicates no significant difference between groups. *indicates significant difference from +/+ saline, ** indicates significant difference from −/− saline (p < 0.05; Student-Newman–Keuls).
