Figure 1. — Dimorphism in cartilage network mechanics. (A) Schematics of the stress relaxation test used. The expected relative contribution of proteoglycans and collagen networks to equilibrium modulus are indicated at the bottom of the graph. (B) Equilibrium modulus calculated from the linear portion of the stress-strain curve in intact cartilage. (C) Sample thickness of intact cartilage samples. Data in B and C are presented as mean ± 95% CI (dotted lines in B); n = 6♂ and 6♀, with each measured in duplicate. CI = confidence interval.
