BNC matrix component quantification using biochemistry.
| Water content (% total weight) | sGAG per d.w. (ug/mg) | sGAG per w.w. (ug/mg) | HP per d.w. (ug/mg) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Young (n = 5) | 77.9 ± 0.8 | 503 ± 45.8 | 111 ± 9.2 | 42.4 ± 3.2 |
| Mature (n = 3) | 65.7 ± 2.7* | 360 ± 27.2* | 123 ± 19.4 | 52.2 ± 9.9 |
Mature samples showed less water content and sGAG per dry weight than young samples.
p < 0.05 young vs. mature.
