Table III.

At 8 weeks, collagen III staining was decreased at the biceps distal groove (DIS) in the SD group compared to control. A trend toward increased collagen III staining was also observed at the biceps insertion in the SD group compared to control. At 4 weeks, collagen III staining was increased at the supraspinatus insertion, with similar trends at the insertion and mid-substance at 8 weeks, in the SD group compared to control. At 4 weeks, decorin staining was decreased at the biceps insertion and distal groove in the SD group compared to control. At 8 weeks, decorin staining was increased at the biceps insertion in the SD group compared to control, with a similar trend at the supraspinatus mid-substance. Data is shown as median and interquartile range.
