Treatment with Agac lysate in combination with tensile strain increased NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX-4) and nitric oxide synthase-2 (NOS-2). Gene (a) and protein expression of NOX-4 (b) and NOS-2 (c) after treatment with Agac lysate and tensile strain (cropped blots from Additional file 1: Figure S4); n = 6; AU arbitrary units. Statistics: ordinary ANOVA with Holm-Sidak’s post hoc (NOX-4 mRNA and protein) or Welch-corrected ANOVA with Games-Howell post-hoc tests (NOS-2); *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01
