Figure 2From: Storage and allogeneic transplantation of peripheral nerve using a green tea polyphenol solution in a canine model Electrophysiological study. Blood FK506 concentration (x-axis) and amplitude of action potentials evoked in the hypothenar muscles (y-axis) of each animal 12 weeks after transplantation. The FK506 concentration correlated significantly with the amplitude of the muscle action potentials (correlation coefficient = 0.88, p = 0.002). (B) Blood FK506 concentration (x-axis) and motor nerve conduction velocity (y-axis) of each animal 12 weeks after transplantation. The FK506 concentration did not correlate significantly with the MNCV (correlation coefficient = 0.70, p = 0.054).Back to article page
