  1. The average cytokine levels for all samples combined (0–220 min) in 20 women with Temporomandibular Disorders myalgia (Patients) and 20 pain-free healthy age-matched women (Controls). Data are presented as median (IQR)
  2. IQR interquartile range (75 percentile minus 25 percentile), IL Interleukin, TNF Tumor necrosis factor, GM-CSF Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Bold italic figures denote significant group differences (P < 0.05)
