Figure 2

Differentiated mRNA expression of VEGF-A (a), CD34 (b), and FGF-2 (c) in the massage (M), premassage (PM), and control (C) groups. Significant differences were noted between the M and C and between the PM and C groups. ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.005, ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.0005, and ^∗∗∗∗𝑃<0.0001; Bonferroni multiple comparison test.
