PFE has no effect on vascular tone in ex vivo mesocecum vasculature
| Treatment . | PRU . | Arteriolar diameter (μm) . |

PRU = Pa-Pv (mm Hg)/venous outflow (mL/min)/tissue weight (g).
Abbreviations are explained in Table 1.
Four mesocecum preparations were used (1 to 4) (PRU, P= .076 compared with baseline values, paired t test).
Number of arterioles, 21; P = .34 compared with baseline values.
