 (c, c′) were compared between particular time points in the BPVC-injured muscles of nontreated (control) or SIM-treated animals. The results are expressed as the mean scores (±SDs) from six sites of muscle injury derived from three animals (two independent muscle injuries per single animal) per day in the control ((a), (b), and (c)) and SIM-treated ((a′), (b′), and (c′)) groups. The*P* values (^*∗*^*P* \< 0.00, ^*∗∗*^*P* \< 0.00, and ^*∗∗∗*^*P* \< 0.000) indicate the significance of the differences between all the time points in the control group or SIM-treated group.](BMRI0000-0000000.000){#fig0}
