  1. Values are presented as mean ± SEM (N), and analysis was performed using two-way RM ANOVA on condition x time. For ipsilateral forepaw guarding, main effects of time (p < 0.001) and injury (p = 0.008), and a group x time interaction (p = 0.038) were found. For von Frey, a main effect of time (p < 0.001) and an interaction was found (p = 0.015). For grip strength, a main effect of time was found (p < 0.001). Holm-Sidak post hoc analyses indicated *p < 0.05 vs other conditions, **p < 0.05 vs I/R, #p < 0.01 vs within condition BL. PWT: paw withdrawal threshold
