Western blotting analysis of IL6 and VEGF expression. a Colored bands of IL6 and VEGF; b Expression levels of IL6 and VEGF. The expression levels of both IL6 and VEGF increased with the duration of the stretch, reaching their peak levels at 20 h but showed significant reduction at 24 h (p < 0.01). At 6 h after withdrawal of the stretch (R6h), the IL6 and VEGF expressions were significantly down-regulated compared to 14 h (p < 0.01)
