(a) Representative parametric maps of longitudinal changes in f_D derived from EP-treated mice in the late- and early-phase intervention groups. (b) Box plots of the temporal change of mean f_D values for EP-treated mice, separated by late- and early-phase intervention groups, as a function of time post-injection of urethane. Significant differences between groups are indicated by solid lines ( , ).
