  1. Data are presented as mean (SD) for both groups. Mean estimated between group differences with their confidence intervals (95%) are provided in the right column. No Bonferroni corrected significant difference (p < 0.05) were found for between or within group comparisons. Hepatic blood flow (HBF). PI = pulsatility index. CO = cardiac output. No significant differences (p < 0.05) were found for between or within group comparisons
