Figure 1.
Articular chondrocytes were grown in alginate and cultured with either 0.1 ng/ml IL1 or 0.5 mM NOC18 for 48 hrs, at 20, 5 or 1% O2. The chondrocytes were released from the alginate and the protein extracted. Immunoblots were carried out for pAMPK and AMPK. Representative blots for pAMPK and AMPK are shown. Data shown are means with 95% confidence intervals, N=3.
