Figure 7From: Nitric oxide compounds have different effects profiles on human articular chondrocyte metabolismOsteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes are efficient cells in the uptake of glucose. Differences between human articular normal and OA chondrocytes in the uptake of 2-deoxy-(3H)glucose for 1 hour. The detailed procedure is described in Materials and methods. Values are the mean ± SD; n = 12. *P ≤ 0.05 versus normal chondrocytes.Back to article page
