Impact of Agac lysate in combination with compressive strain on development of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and expression of nitric oxide synthase-2 (NOS-2). Gene (a) and protein expression of NADPH oxidase-4 (b NOX-4), development of ROS (c) and NOS-2 (d) after treatment with Agac lysate and compressive strain (cropped blots from Additional file 1: Figure S5); n ≥ 6; AU arbitrary units. Statistics: ordinary ANOVA with Holm-Sidak’s post hoc or Welch-corrected ANOVA with Games-Howell post-hoc tests (NOS-2); *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001
