Figure 3 Averaged values of the ratio of lactate produced to glucose consumed for each of the three experimental hollow fiber bioreactor systems over the course of the entire experiment. Significant differences between the control case compared to the bRBC supplemented and convection enhanced cases are indicted by asterisks over the time point *(p < 0.025) and ** (p < 0.005).
