For the control group, the means of ICAM-1 between timepoints week 1, 2, and 4 differ significantly, F(2,24) = 5.98, p = 0.008, η2 = 0.33 and the means of VCAM-1 between timepoints week 1, 2, and 4 differ significantly, F(2,24) = 13.91, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.54.For the TAO group, the means of ICAM-1 between timepoints week 1, 2, and 4 differ significantly, F(2,24) = 9.09, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.43. The gene discussed is ICAM1; the disease is thromboangiitis obliterans.
