Fig 1 Results of plethysmography (N=9). Baseline (A) thigh and (B) forearm blood flow and baseline (C) thigh and (D) forearm vascular resistance. All parameters were analyzed using a 1-way ANOVA (dependent variable, time) with the P value reported in the figure. Values are mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Abbreviations: BF, blood flow; VR, vascular resistance. *Post hoc significant from 0 week.

Fig 2 Peak blood flow during the postocclusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) of the (A) femoral and (B) brachial artery (N=9). Parameters were analyzed using a 1-way ANOVA (dependent variable, time) with the P value reported in the figure. Values are mean ± SEM. *Post hoc significant from 6 weeks.

Fig 3 Diameter change of the femoral artery (N=9). Diameter was analyzed using a 1-way ANOVA with the P value reported in the figure. Values are mean ± SEM. *Post hoc significant from 0 week. †Post hoc significant from 6 weeks.

Fig 4 Results of the FMD (N=9). Relative change of the FMD and corrected FMD (FMD/ΔMWSR) of the femoral (A+C) and brachial (B+D) artery are presented. Parameters were analyzed using a 1-way ANOVA (dependent variable, time) with the P value reported in the figure. Values are mean ± SEM. *Post hoc significant from 0 week. †Post hoc significant from 6 weeks.
