Table 3.

Summary of the descriptive statistics of the oxy-hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) transient characterization parameters (negative amplitude (NAmp, μM), positive amplitude (PAmp, μM), total amplitude (Tamp, μM), duration (second), negative slope (Nslope, NAmp/second), and positive slope (Pslope, PAmp/second) are defined in Figure 3 and in the Analysis of Transients subsection). Both the experimental mean and standard deviation, as well as the estimated mean and standard error of the estimated mean from the mixed ANOVA model, are reported. The p values are from the mixed ANOVA model comparison of infarcted to non-infarcted tissue. PAmp and PSlope were associated with infarction.
