Factor expression in distraction and compression forces in rabbit DO model.

Factor	Outcome	Reference
BMP-4 (mRNA)	Acceleration of expression of BMP-4 when compression applied	Kim et al. (65)^a
TGF-β1 (mRNA)	Increased and sustained expression of TGF-β1 when compression applied	Kim et al. (65)^a
Osteonectin (mRNA)	Sustained expression of osteonectin up to 3 weeks post-compression in the accordion group	Kim et al. (65)^a
VEGF (protein)	Increased expression of VEGF in the compression group	Mori et al. (66)^b

DO, distraction osteogenesis; BMP, bone morphogenic protein; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; TGF-β1, transforming growth factor beta.

^aControl group (distraction of 1 mm/day for 8 days) and experimental group (distraction of 1 mm/day for 10 days followed by a 3-day latency period after which they compressed 1 mm/day for 2 days) – rabbit mandibular DO.

^bControl group (distraction of 0.7 mm/day for 14 days) and experimental group (distraction of 0.7 mm/day for 14 days then compression of 0.7 mm/day for 3 days) – rabbit tibial DO.
