(a) VEGF mRNA expression was lower in 1 h and 24 h ( ), whereas the expression was highly increased in 3 d but decreased in 7 d. Then, it experienced a persistent augment from 4 w to 12 w ( ). (b) VEGF protein expression was increased in 1 h, 24 h, and 3 d; also it was decreased in 7 d. After that the expression was transparently elevated and higher than that of control ( ).
