Values correspond to the mean ± SD, calculated by using the formula from M&M section of three separate experiments of n different cell donors, each performed in triplicates. Cruciate ligamentocytes were preincubated with the indicated concentrations of the inhibitors for 2 h. SNP or none SNP were then added to the cultures and allowed to incubate for an additional 18-h period. SNP concentrations used were 0.2 to 0.25 mM. Cell viability was assayed by MTT assay. P-values indicate difference within the same type of cell and SNP treatment versus absent inhibitor: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01.
