Fig 7. Expression of MMP and TIMP genes.

Fig 7

Target gene expression was normalized to the stable housekeeping gene beta 2 microglobulin (B2M), and further normalized to plantaris tendons that were not subjected to synergist ablation. Values are mean±SD, N = 8 tendons for each group. Differences between groups were tested using a two-way ANOVA (α = 0.05) followed by Newman-Keuls post hoc sorting: a, different (P<0.05) from 3D vehicle; b, different (P<0.05) from 3D p38 MAPK inhibitor; c, different (P<0.05) from 7D vehicle; d, different (P<0.05) from 7D p38 MAPK inhibitor; e, different (P<0.05) from 28D vehicle.
