On page 147 of the above, the unit on the left vertical axis of Figure 3 was incorrectly shown as “DAG Level (fLmollmg . protein).” The correct unit is “nmollmg protein.” The figure is shown below. The authors regret this error.
Changes in the 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) content of the basilar artery as compared
to alteration of the basilar artery diameter following two hemorrhages. The bars and
the points represent the DAG content and the diameter ratio, respectively (mean ±
SD). The DAG content was significantly increased on days 2, 4, and 7 and thereafter
decreased to the control level on day 14. Note the inverse parallel relationship
between the alterations of the DAG content and the diameter ratio. *p < 0.05, **p
< 0.01; + P < 0.05, + + p < 0.01 (Williams-Wilcoxon method).
