The change of interfacial charge transfer resistance (Rct), experimented by the redox marker, was recorded to confirm the hybrid formation.
Objective and subjective indexes of memory performance and salivary cortisol (as a stress marker) were recorded during both runs and differences between groups were assessed.
A minimum of 500 cells in three DRG sections were analysed for each animal and the number of cell profiles positive for each marker was recorded.
Of those profiles showing nuclei, the areas and perimeters of positive cells for each marker were recorded using a 21-inch LCD digitalising tablet.
Endoscopic findings, such as the distance from the incisor teeth, circumferential location (anterior, posterior, right, or left wall), macroscopic appearance of the esophageal lesion, and size of the lesion (as determined using biopsy forceps as a marker), were recorded on a case report form after each respective endoscopic evaluation.
During the cardiac cycle, the coordinates of these markers are recorded via biplane fluoroscopy.
Three-dimensional motion of the three markers was recorded during each running trial for six 10-s periods using First Principles software (Version 1.2.2, Northern Digital Inc., Ontario, Canada).
The positions of 36 retro-reflective markers were recorded at 200Hz using an 8-camera optical motion capture system (Motion Analysis Corp., Santa Rosa, CA, USA) and were synchronized with measurements from three floor-mounted force plates collected at 2000Hz (Bertec Corporation, Columbus, OH, USA).
These markers were recorded with a 3D motion capture system (ProReflex, Qualisys, Sweden) at a frequency of 250 Hz.
The number of detected markers was recorded.
