(A) Change in total collagen was significantly lower in DEX-treated TE synovium relative to CTL (p < 0.05), and a similar trend was observed in IL-treated TE synovium (p = 0.2698). Total collagen was statistically unchanged in all (B) bovine and (C) human EXP groups. Change in DNA was elevated with IL treatment relative to CTL for (D) bovine TE synovium (p = 0.1631) and (E) EXP synovium (p = 0.1357). DNA significantly decreased compared to initial values in TE CTL and increased compared to initial values in EXP IL (p < 0.05). DNA was unchanged in (F) human EXP groups. Change in COL/DNA was significantly lower in DEX- and IL-treated groups compared to CTL for (G) bovine TE synovium (p < 0.05), and similar trends were seen for (H) EXP IL (p = 0.1035). COL/DNA was unchanged in (I) human EXP groups. *p < 0.05 versus CTL, p < 0.05 versus Initial. COL, collagen.
