Values represent the cumulative 14CO2exhaled during the 2-h collection period as % of the dose injected (or in parenthesis, normalized to 100% for the value observed prior to surgery). n = 4 animals/group for each time period studied. Statistically significant differences between group means were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance. Effect of treatment: N.S. Interaction time/treatment: p < .02. Effect of time: Control: p < .0001; CsA p < .006. Individual posthoc tests between pre and post PHx within the control or CsA group respectively were performed according to Bonferroni-Dunn: * p < .003; ** p < .006; *** p < .0008.
