AZT treatment impacts on cytokine and inflammasome pathway gene expressions. Results of qPCR expression analyses of indicated markers in GC muscles. The data are shown as Log2 fold change versus the PBS-mdx and statistical analysis was performed on the relative expression values with the Mann Whitney test, n = 6, TNFa;AZT-mdx vs PBS-mdx p = 0.002, Foxp3;AZT-mdx vs PBS-mdx p = 0.002, iNOS;AZT-mdx vs PBS-mdx p = 0.03, COX2;AZT-mdx vs PBS-mdx p = 0.032, Nlrp3;AZT-mdx vs PBS-mdx p = 0.016, NFkb;AZT-mdx vs PBS-mdx p = 0.03.. n = 6; *p < 0.05 **p < 0.01
