Protein expression in injured muscle homogenates is consistent with upregulated mRNA of associated genes. Graphs show comparison of the protein expression of PDGF, RUNX2, and IBSP between Blast Complex HLI 150 and Blast Complex Control at Post-Operative Day (POD) 1–7 following injury. Protein concentrations were normalized to naïve tissue expression and adjusted for total injured muscle protein levels. Graphs shown as mean and 95% CI. Statistical comparison performed using two-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, ns not significant
