Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5 Effects of 50% and 5% chlorogenic acid on VEGF, TSP-1, ANG1, ANG2 and Tie-2 protein expressions. Band im- ages are representative western blots (A), and histograms show the quantification of band densities. Mean levels of VEGF (B), TSP-1 (C), VEGF/TSP-1 ratio (D), ANG1 (E), ANG2 (F), ANG2/ANG1 ratio (G) and Tie-2 (H) in the soleus muscles of each group. Values were calculated as the fold changes relative to the control group. Values are means ± SEM (n = 6). Ab- breviations: CON, control; HU, hindlimb unloaded; HU+50%CGA, hindlimb unloaded plus 50% chlorogenic acid; HU+5%CGA, hindlimb unloaded plus 5% chlorogenic acid. The symbols *, † and ‡ indicate significant differences from the CON, HU and HU+50%CGA groups, respectively, at P < 0.05.
