ODI, oxygen desaturation index; PAR1, PAR1-activating hexapeptide (SFLLRN) agonist; ADP, adenosine diphosphate.

a

Values are expressed as median [25th, 75th percentile]. P value from non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Mann-Whitney U test).

b

AUC, area under the curve (%*min); amp, amplitude (%); rate, rate (slope) (%/min).

c

AUC, area under the curve (nanomoles*min); amp, amplitude (nanomoles); rate, rate (slope) (nanomoles/min).
