Correlations between serum inflammatory markers, behavior and median nerve findings. a and b Forelimb voluntary grasp force and reflexive grip strength were moderately and negatively correlated with extraneural fibrosis. c Forelimb reflexive grip strength was also moderately and negatively correlated with serum levels of IL-1α. d and e Forepaw withdrawal thresholds were moderately and negatively correlated with both intraneural inflammation and extraneural fibrosis. f A strong positive correlation was observed between extraneural fibrosis and intraneural inflammation
