Amount of sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) in cartilage and medium during explant culturing. a Total amount of sGAG in the explant system; cartilage and medium combined over 16 days of incubation. b The accumulated amount of sGAG released into medium during the 16 days of culture. The cartilage and synovium + joint capsule (SJC) explants (n = 3) were cultured for from 6 h to 16 days. Number of days of culture and sGAG amounts (in mean and SD) are presented.
