High glucose elevates mRNA expression of PPARγ and α-SMA. The mRNA expression levels of the non-tenogenic lineage markers Sox9, Runx2, PPARγ, and α-SMA were measured after tenocytes were cultured in high-glucose (25.5 mM) or low-glucose (5.5 mM) conditions for 1 week. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 6). Statistical significance is shown as * p < 0.05 or ** p < 0.01 compared to the low-glucose control group. Experiments were performed as four biologically independent repeats.
