  1. Tachykinin concentrations as measured by EIA in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles after 1w, 3w and 6w of electrical stimulation/exercise and for normal controls are shown. Values are expressed as means and standard deviations. Statistical differences (p < 0.05) between controls and the experiment groups are marked (*), between 1 and 6 week groups (Δ) and between 3 week and 6 week groups (▲). Values in brackets are the values obtained if the samples for which the CV was comparatively high (>15%) were excluded (in total 9 out of all 83 samples analyzed had >15%).
