4. Fig. 1-C The specimens in group 3 were tested immediately after dissection (Curve 1), were tested again (Curve 2), and were tested after they had been soaked for two hours in saline solution (Curve 3).

6. Fig. 2-B At a load of 14.7 newtons, the increase in the gliding resistance between the second two treatments in group 1 (a wash in saline solution and a soak in the hyaluronidase solution) was significantly greater (p = 0.002) than the increase between the...
