  1. Transcript levels (mean ± s.d., n = 5) are given for the three experiment groups (PBS-injected, controls) and are quantitatively comparable across groups/genes. For each gene, different superscript letters indicate significant differences across groups. ‘^’Highlights genes that required Box-Cox transformation. ‘*’Highlights genes where a Kruskal-Wallis test was used.
