Figure 3

Influence of testosterone on the expression of collagen I (Col-I), collagen II (Col-II), and aggrecan mRNA in articular chondrocytes from female and male rabbits for 3-day culture. The experiments were conducted in triplicate, and a mean ± standard deviation was expressed. Data were normalized to the control values, which were set at 1.0 ( ).
