Decreased loss moduli following enzymatic digestion. Decreases in loss modulus were observed at most tested frequencies following hyaluronidase and collagenase digestion. After 1 day of treatment, the bacterial hyaluronidase group had smaller loss moduli at all frequencies than the HBSS-control group (all p < 0.01). After 1 day of treatment, the collagenase group had smaller loss moduli at frequencies greater than 0.1 Hz (all p < 0.02). *indicates p ≤ 0.02 compared to HBSS-control at the same day.
