Figure 5

Association between the relative ratios of COL1A1/GAPDH mRNA and COL1A2/GAPDH mRNA. Gene expression was determined in intertrochanteric trabecular bone from patients with osteoarthritis (OA) (n = 15) and controls (n = 13). A significant correlation was observed between the two parameters in patients with OA (COL1A1/GAPDH = 1.71 [COL1A2/GAPDH] – 0.10; r = 0.66, p < 0.008) and controls (COL1A1/GAPDH = 0.91 [COL1A2/GAPDH] – 0.06; r = 0.70, p < 0.008). COL1A, collagen type I alpha chain; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
