a Schematic representation of the second cyclic short-duration strain (CSDS) profile utilized for studies in Fig. 3. b, c Determination of IL-8 (b) and IL-6 (c) levels in conditioned media collected from primary human dermal fibroblasts 96 h following onset of CSDS profile. Data are mean ± SEM normalized to CSDS; n ≥ 8 per condition. * indicates p < 0.05 against CSDS by unpaired t-test
