The collagen area was elevated in participants with T2D at baseline ( p = 0.0443) and showed a trend toward reduction following a 10-day SLET ( p = 0.0867).
The collagen area was elevated in participants with T2D at baseline ( p = 0.0443) and showed a trend toward reduction following a 10-day SLET ( p = 0.0867).
Collagen area showed a downward trend following the 10-day SLET intervention, yet this change did not reach statistical significance when stratified by diabetes status.
VO 2peak correlated positively with elastin and showed a positive trend with proteoglycans by wheat germ agglutinin staining, while no relationship was observed with collagen area or density.
