Bioenergetic Health Index (BHI). The individual parameters from the mitochondrial stress test (MST) can be integrated as a bioenergetic health index (BHI). BHI values were determined before, after the first 10-passes OHT and after the second 10-passes OHT one week later. Cumulative data from six patients expressed as mean ± s.e.m. P-values: 0,045 (NN versus V); 0,198 (N versus V); 0,079 (N versus NN). COHEN: 1,385,603 (NN versus V); 0,8,039,162 (N versus V); 1,152,394 (N versus NN). ANOVA: 0,0,373,088 (NN versus V); 0,325,814 (N versus V); 0,4,969,881 (N versus NN). V: before OHT; N: after the first OHT; NN: after the 2. OHT (one week later). Y-Axis: BHI; X-axis: sampling time
