Figure 3.

(a) The concentration of CINC-1 in ischaemia–reperfused (I-R) and contused muscle at 8 h and 3 days postinjury. CINC-1 concentration was quantified by ELISA. (b) Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in I-R and contused muscle after injury. MPO activity was quantified by a kinetic enzymatic assay. * denotes a significant difference from control, P<0.05. ø denotes a significant difference from earlier time point within the same experimental group, P<0.05. ψ denotes a significant difference between contusion and IR-contusion at same time point, P<0.05. Error bars represent the SE of the mean (SEM, n=8 per group).
