Agac lysate increased gene expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase-2 (PTGS-2). Gene expression of tumor necrose factor (a TNF), IL-6 (b) and PTGS-2 (c) after treatment with Agac lysate and tensile strain; n ≥ 5; AU arbitrary units. Statistics: ordinary ANOVA with Holm-Sidak’s post hoc (TNF) or Welch-corrected ANOVA with Games-Howell post-hoc tests (IL-6, PTGS-2); *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001
