The vehicles bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ethanol have a small catabolic effect. Temporal changes in the release of sGAG for cartilage explants treated with either BSA or ethanol. Data are normalised to that for untreated control explants and presented as a fold increase with median values and error bars showing interquartile ranges. Data are grouped together for all ethanol doses (0.08-8 μM) as no statistically significant dose-response relationship was found. Statistically significant differences from untreated controls are indicated on the basis of Mann-Whitney U tests (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).
