Chronic intestinal ischemia and splanchnic blood-flow: Reference values and correlation with body-composition

Figure 3 Postprandial increase in splanchnic blood flow for each individual as a function of bodyweight. A: Baseline splanchnic blood flow (SBF): the linear correlation between bodyweight and baseline SBF is given by the equation. SBF = 858 mL/min + 3.2 mL/min × bodyweight, the correlation is however not significant (P = 0.35); B: Postprandial increase in SBF: the linear correlation between bodyweight and the postprandial increase in SBF can be described by the equation: SBF (increase) = 282 mL/min + bodyweight × 5.4 mL/min (P = 0.025). △: Female patients with normal angiography; ▲: Male patients with normal angiography; 〇: Healthy female volunteers; ●: Healthy male volunteers.
