Figure 3. Adherent LPS inhibits biomechanical pullout testing measures.

Figure 3

Biomechanical pullout testing measures of ultimate force (A), stiffness (B) and work to failure (C) at two weeks after implantation in wild-type C57BL/6J mice with rigorously cleaned implants (open bars) or implants with 1 × 104 EU/m2 of adherent LPS (closed bars). Representative force versus displacement curves, which are closest to the mean in A, in mice with rigorously cleaned implants or implants with 1 × 104 EU/m2 of adherent LPS (D). Results are normalized to the mean value obtained with rigorously cleaned implants. Statistical analysis was by Mann-Whitney Rank sum test. n=11
