Proliferation of chondrocytes and osteocytes after 24 and 48 h BA application. Analysis of proliferation was performed in all test groups. After administration of BAs for 24 and 48 h, cultures were allowed for proliferation for an additional 12 h. After 24 h administration of BA, suppressed proliferation were showed by MTT assay performed at the 36th hour and complete blockage of proliferation after 48 h BA application were showed by MTT assay performed at the 60th hour, and absorbance values were obtained
