Levels of IL-1alpha, IL-10, IL-1beta, TNFalpha, and heat shock protein 72 (Hsp70) in flexor digitorum (Flex) muscles, tested using ELISA. Portions of regions A and B (see Methods) were combined for each analysis. (a, b) IL-1alpha and IL-10 levels in Flex muscles were significantly increased in HRHF-RL, compared to FRC-R and HRHF-SL. (c, d) IL-1beta and TNFalpha levels in the Flex muscles did not differ between the groups. (e) Hsp72 levels were significantly increased in HRHF-RL, compared to HRHF-SL and FRC-R limbs. , compared to FRC-R; , compared to HRHF-SL; mean ± SEM shown.
