Anesthes. 2009;110(1): doi: /ALN.0b013e318190bc84
Figure Legend:
Fig. 2. Nerve growth factor (NGF) expression in incised or sham-operated plantar flexor digitorum brevis muscle. (  A  ) Changes in NGF messenger RNA (mRNA) relative to β-actin mRNA examined by real-time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of ratio of incised flexor muscle to sham controls. (  B  ) NGF protein determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data are shown as mean ± SEM of nanogram of NGF protein per milligram of protein. (  C  ) Western blots for NGF and actin immunoreactivity. Top: Example of Western blot showing immunoreactive NGF and actin control bands in detailed time course after plantar incision. Bottom: Summary of relative changes in NGF protein expression after plantar incision. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of ratio of incised flexor muscle to sham controls. Non = contralateral nonincised muscle. PO = post operative. POD = postoperative day. *  P  < 0.05, **  P  < 0.01  versus  sham. N = 6 per group.
