Version (N)	Pre	Post	Day 30	*ANOVA
1 (N = 5)	1.07 ±0.29	0.87 ± 0.13	0.94 ± 0.18	0.34
2 (N = 5)	1.24 ± 0.35	0.87 ± 0.07	1.16 ± 0.15	0.06

The reference limb saturation (the denominator in the Moxy index) was the higher of the two forelimb saturations. The Moxy index was expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Terms “pre” and “post” refer to before and after arterial ligation. The Day 30 index was determined immediately prior to necropsy.

^*The ANOVA compares Moxy index of one hindlimb in one version over three time points.

^**The unpaired t-test compares Moxy index between two versions at a single time point.
