Figure 4

Amount of collagen formed per mg of tracheal tissue in each group, 28 days after tracheal surgery, and a comparison among groups. Each bar represents the mean ± EE of the collagen concentration in the tracheal tissue for each study group; (ANOVA and Tukey’s test) showing the reduced collagen depositions observed in the PFD group versus the SS group. . ANOVA, Tukey’s test, PFD versus SS.
