Figure 3From: Intraarticular injection of hyaluronan prevents cartilage erosion, periarticular fibrosis and mechanical allodynia and normalizes stance time in murine knee osteoarthritisMechanical allodynia measurements with von Frey filaments of mice in each of the four experimental groups. Panel (a) shows the mean 50% withdrawal threshold value (in grams) for the treadmill only mice at pretreatment, day 5 and day 19. Panel (b) shows the equivalent data for both injected and contralateral limbs (n = 5 to 8 per group) of mice at 5, 12 and 19 days post-injury. (see symbol box for group identification). p values (Student's t-test) are given above data sets which are statistically significantly different from the osteoarthritis (OA) group on the same day.Back to article page
