Table 3. Follistatin level means, standard deviations (in parentheses), and statistical results for short (3 months, left) and long (6 months, right) temporary denervation groups.

3-month groups	Follistatin protein level (pg follistatin/mg of protein)	6-month groups	Follistatin protein level (pg follistatin/mg of protein)
FST protein and denervation	2,678.8 (2,183.6)	FST protein and denervation	Not detectable
Sham protein and denervation	2,649.8 (608.7)	Sham protein and denervation	Not detectable
FST protein and sham denervation	2,282.0 (1,516.9)	FST protein and sham denervation	Not detectable
Sham protein and sham denervation	3,301.4 (715.3)	Sham protein and sham denervation	Not detectable

Abbreviations: FST, follistatin, pg, picograms; mg, milligrams.

^a Denotes significant differences between treatment and matched sham treatment at p <0.05.
