Figure 2.
Enhancement ratios (ĉDL / ĉPD) of 70 kDa dextran, 10 kDa dextran, 3 kDa dextran, fluorescein, and transferrin in cartilage disks after 20 hours of dynamic loading (mean ± standard deviation). These ratios demonstrate that the pumping mechanism is more effective with larger solutes, for a given molecular species. *p<0.01: significant increase above unity.
