2.8. Statistical Analysis

Results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). SEMs are represented in graphs as error bars. Four to seven animals were analyzed for each vessel classification. Collagen tissue UIs were analyzed via one-way ANOVA with individual comparisons via Tukey’s HSD with p-value correction for multiple comparisons. Comparisons are performed using an independent t-test or one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test unless otherwise indicated. p-values <0.05 are considered statistically significant. Statistical details for specific experiments, including n values, can be found in figure legends. All calculations were performed in GraphPad Prism 8 statistical software suite.
