Fig. 5

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