Table 4. Mean and standard deviation (SD) values for cartilage thickness as determined by x-ray microscopy imaging for distal femur samples of murine articular cartilage (n=10).
Mean values compared between condyles (Lateral/Medial; unpaired, Student’s t test) and within sub-regions of condyles (Lat/Ant, Lat/Post, Med/Ant, Med/Post; one-way ANOVA). p-value reported.
