Fig. 3From: Establishment of a model for equine small intestinal disease: effects of extracorporeal blood perfusion of equine ileum on metabolic variables and histological morphology – an experimental ex vivo studyBox-and-whisker plot of the calculated differences between venous and arterial values of a partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) b partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) c glucose and d lactate at 0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 min perfusion. Boxes represent the quartiles, lines within the boxes the median, whiskers show the minimum and maximum except for outliers, which are plotted as individual points if 1.5× outside the quartile range or asterisks if 3x outside the quartile range. Quartiles of calculated differences between venous and arterial values are positive for pCO2, glucose and lactate and negative for pO2Back to article page
