Figure 5.
Biochemical characterization of the medial menisci from vehicle- and hyaluronan-treated knees after meniscus repair in the peripheral and inner regions. Top, water content (based on 7 specimens in each group); Middle, total glycosaminoglycans (based on 7 specimens in each group); Bottom, the ratio of reducible collagen cross-links (DHLNL: HLNL) (based on 5 specimens in each group). Data are illustrated as mean ± standard error. Asterisks denote significant (P < 0.05) differences between vehicle- and hyaluronan (HA)-treated menisci.
