Fig. 5. Quantitative data of SF HA and CS obtained by densitometry of agarose gel slabs. Quantitative data are given as BoxPlots showing the median (−), mean (×), first and third quartiles for each experimental group.
SF, synovial fluid; HA, hyaluronic acid; CS, chondroitin sulfate; TA, triamcinolone acetonide; HA, hyaluronic acid; LMW-HA, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid; HMW-HA, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid.
*Differences statistically significant compared to baseline values (p < 0.05); †Differences statistically significant compared to TA group (p < 0.05).
