Mean K_av values for GAG chains measured by size exclusion chromatography

	Control	SB	TGF-β	SB + TGF-β
Cleaved chains
Kav	0.41±0.01	0.42±0.01	0.36±0.01#	0.41±0.01*
Xyloside GAGs
Kav	0.53±0.01	0.52±0.01	0.48±0.01θ	0.54±0.01κ

SB SB154132, K_av values are expressed as mean ± SEM from three separate size exclusion experiments,

^#p<0.05 vs control,

^*p<0.02 vs TGF-β,

^θp<0.02 vs control,

^κp<0.05 vs TGF-β using a paired Student’s t-test.
