Classification of genes upregulated by ECS. Upregulated genes from both acute and chronic ECS-treated rats from two time points (2 and 6 hr) are classified on the basis of known functional roles into the following four categories: (1) growth factor signaling, (2) angiogenesis and vasodilation, (3) neurotransmitter signaling, and (4) transcription factors and kinases. Graphs show the mean ratio (ECS:sham) of fold change in gene upregulation. Dotted horizontal line indicates a ratio of 1 (i.e., no regulation). Error bars represent SEM of four replicates, each from a different animal.
