Expression levels of healing-associated genes in isolated (ISO) and group-housed (GRO) rats on Days 1, 3 and 5 post-wounding.

Abstract

<p>(A) IL1β; (B) MIP1α; (C) FGF7; (D) TNFα; and (E) VEGFA. Error bars represent SEM. * indicates a significant difference between stress conditions. ^# and ⁺ indicate significant differences between days within group-housed and isolated rats, respectively (n=10/group; *, ^#, ⁺, <i>p</i><0.05; **, ^{+ +}, ^##<i>p</i><0.01; ^###<i>p</i><0.001).</p
