Figure 2. Volumetric flow averaged across the cardiac cycle (mean ± SEM) in the neck and torso vessels of male and female, adult and aged mice (n = 5 each) at core temperatures of 35, 36, 37, and 38 °C. Response varied by location and across sex and age. Significance set at p < .05 for: temperature effect overall (†); pairwise comparisons between temperatures within a group(#); relative changes between same age group but opposite sex ($) and same sex but different age group (@), non-zero slope (*). Bold and underlined denotes p < .01.
