Figure 8

The relative mRNA expression levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including: (a) IL-4, (b) IL-10, and (c) IL-13 in whole blood samples from the collagenase-induced Achilles tendinitis rat model in each group. Whole blood samples were collected from the rat models in each group at 0, 1, 2, and 6 weeks after treatment with PMSs, simvastatin, SIM (1 mM)/PMSs, and SIM (5 mM)/PMSs. Each mRNA expression level was determined using real time-PCR analysis. Data represent means ± SDs (n = 4), (* p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01).
