  1. Paired Student’s t test.
  2. A = Te control (ms), B = Pd control (x103cm/s), C = Te (EOo+PCMB) (ms),
  3. D = Pd (EOo+PCMB) (x103cm/s), E = Te (PCMB) (ms), F = Pd (PCMB) (x103cm/s),
  4. G = Pd standard (x103cm/s); EOo = extract +Oo, PCMB = Para-chloromercuribenzoic acid,
  5. Te = water diffusion exchange time; Pd = Diffusional permeability; Temp: temperature.
