Fig. 3From: Mitochondrial dependent pathway is involved in the protective effects of carboxymethylated chitosan on nitric oxide-induced apoptosis in chondrocytesProtective effect of CMCS on NO-induced apoptosis in chondrocytes. Apoptotic cells were detected by FCM. a Control group; b 3.0 mM SNP treated group; c 3.0 mM SNP + 200 μg/ml CMCS treated group; d The column results of apoptotic rate. *P < 0.05 vs. the control cells, #P < 0.05 vs. 3.0 mM SNP treated cellsBack to article page
