Fig. 3From: Effects of sesamin on chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan synthesis induced by interleukin-1beta in human chondrocytesEffects of sesamin on CSPG synthesis gene expression in IL-1β pre-treated HAC pellets over 21 days: ACAN (Panel a), XT-1 (Panel b), XT-2 (Panel c), CHSY1 (Panel d) and ChPF (Panel e). Data presented are the mean ± S.D. of three independent cultures. Statistical significance in comparison of IL-1β pre-treatment alone vs untreated (control): # = p < 0.05 and in comparison of sesamin treatment vs IL-1β pre-treatment alone: * = p < 0.05Back to article page
