Effect of co-encapsulated MgCO3 on the pH change in the release medium incubated with (A) implants prepared from polymers AB10 (○), AB15 (●), ABA10 (▼), and PLGA (50/50) (Δ); (B) implants prepared from polymers AB10 (○), AB15 (●), ABA10 (▼), and PLGA (50/50) (Δ) co-encapsulated with 3% MgCO3; and (C) implants prepared from PLGA (50/50) blended with: AB10 − MgCO3 (▼), AB10 + with 3% MgCO3 (Δ), AB15 − MgCO3 (●) and AB15 + 3% MgCO3 (○) (C). All studies were performed in PBST pH 7.4 at 37°C. Symbols represent mean ± SEM, n=3.
