The Study of the Frequency Effect of Dynamic Compressive Loading on Primary Articular Chondrocyte Functions Using a Microcell Culture System

Figure 5

The evaluation of the biosynthetic activities ((a) GAGs and (b) hydroxyproline production) of the primary articular chondrocytes under different compressive loading conditions (as indicated) after 5 days of culture. The results are displayed as mean ± standard deviation of 3 separate experiments ( ). Significant differences are expressed as ) and ).
