Inflammatory mediator levels in gluteus muscle per group.

	Saline		Car		Saline + MFS		Car + MFS		p values
	Median	Q3–Q1	Median	Q3–Q1	Median	Q3–Q1	Median	Q3–Q1
TGF	1.45	8.65	3.51	12.09	1.51	11.58	1.82	18.89	0.632
TNF	1.09	3.49	1.47	15.8	1.89	37.3	0.794	47.6	0.375
IL-6	0.88	3.57	2.06	6.99	1.26	4.55	0.997	7.99	0.485

Mediator levels on gluteus muscle per group are represented by median and interquartile interval (Q3–Q1). Kruskal–Wallis with Dunn post hoc was used for statistical analysis for all variables. No differences were found between groups.
