Fig. 7

Cortisol exposure significantly reduced fibroblast expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) (P = 0.003, F (1, 27) = 10.62). Error bars show standard deviations. No effect of gravity could be established. Measures are normalized to total protein content and divided by mean value of 1 × g controls to obtain relative values. Statistical tests included ANOVA followed by post hoc analysis (see “Statistical analyses”).
