ADAM₁₂ expression in skeletal muscle following a contusion injury. (A) Representative Western blots. Top 4 bands represent ADAM₁₂ expression and the bottom bands represent β-tubulin expression (confirm equal loading of the protein); (B) Combined data for all the different groups; (C) Statistical differences observed between the different time-points in each experimental group. Values are expressed relative to the uninjured values. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM; Analysis by two-way ANOVA; n = 5 per time-point/per group; Differences over time are indicated by solid lines and broken black lines indicate group differences at specific time points; Significance: *** p < 0.0001, ** p < 0.001 and * p < 0.05.
