Figure 6. Graph shows time dependence of (SIpost - SIpre) in the ischemic leg (
) and the normal leg (
) 3 months after ischemia induction (mean ± SEM). The time range was 2.8-71.8 minutes. * = Three months was significantly different from the control (unpaired t test; P < .05). # = Three months was significantly different from the control (unpaired t test; P < .01). The affected area showed enhancement substantially higher than that in the contralateral leg.
