Figure 4: Gene expression.

p53 (a), and PGC-1α (b) mRNA content before (Pre), immediately (+0 h), and 3 h (+3 h) after the CE and SIE trials, expressed relative to control (cyclophilin, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase [GAPDH], and beta-2-microglobulin [B2M] housekeeping genes). Open circles (CE) and closed triangles (SIE) represent individual values. Primary effects were analysed using two-way ANOVA with repeated measures for time followed by Tukey’s honestly significant difference post-hoc test for pairwise comparisons. *P < 0.05 vs. Pre. Individual data points and mean bars are plotted. n = 9 for each type of exercise.
