Shear stress
30 (Pa)
3 (Pa)
0.3 (Pa)

Values are expressed as . There was no difference in the EI values at any shear stresses between the placebo, resveratrol baseline, and 3^rd month groups. Baseline: measured values at randomization in the resveratrol or placebo group; 3^rd month: patients treated with resveratrol or placebo for 3 months. EI: elongation index; Pa: pascal.
