Fig. 1 — The RANKL and OPG gene expression and RANKL/OPG ratio examined in rat primary osteoblasts after 6 or 12 h stimulation with stepwise increasing ( 5-10-15 dyn/cm²) or decreasing ( 15-10-5 dyn/cm²) FSS relative to static control (=1). The RANKL and OPG mRNA were normalized with β-actin. To indicate significant difference between pair comparison, the following symbals are used: * FSS vs the static control; # stepwise increasing FSS vs decreasing FSS for the same stimulation period (6 or 12h). There was no difference between 6 h and 12 h stimulation using either increasing or decreasing FSS.
