Overall changes for exercised and non-exercised sides. Graphs showing the trend of changes in concentration of tachykinin (A, B), scores of tachykinin-like immunoreaction intensities in blood vessel walls (C, D) and vessel density (E, F) in exercised and non-exercised sides of soleus (A, C, E) and gastrocnemius (B, D, F) muscles in the 1w, 3w and 6w groups and controls. Thus, the effects of the exercise upon these parameters for both the experimental (exercised) side and the contralateral (non-exercised) side can here be compared. The situation in the resting (control) situation is also shown. The continuous line shows the situation for the exercised side, and the dotted line shows that for the non-exercised side. E=exercised side, N=non-exercised side. E.c depicts statistical difference as compared to control group, E.1 as compared to 1w group, E.3 as compared to 3w group. N.c describes statistical difference as compared to control group, N.1 as compared to 1w group, N.3 as compared to 3w group.
