Adherent bone cell viability after 1, 2, or 4 hours. A, Sheep (n ≥ 3) and cow bone (n ≥ 8) cell viability both decreased in a similar manner when left out to dry after harvest. B, Combined sheep and cow bone cell viability decreased to 63% after 1 hour, 46% after 2 hours, and 37% after 4 hours. Data are presented as mean values ± SEM. * denotes P < 0.05, ** denotes P < 0.01, and *** denotes P < 0.001 relative to T = 0 hour cell viability.
