Cytological-energy analysis of synovial fluids. Legend: Groups sharing capital letters (A, B) are not significantly different as evidenced by ANOVA Kruskal–Wallis test for multiple comparisons (family wise α = 0.05); A/B—no significant difference with both groups “A” and “B”; IQR—interquartile range; KEB—coefficient of energy balance; AST—aspartate aminotransferase catalytic activity.
