Proteoglycan/collagen ratio in the intervertebral discs (IVDs). The proteoglycan/collagen ratio was calculated from the glycosaminoglycan and hydroxyproline data presented in Figs. 3 and 5, respectively. Means ± SDs. Analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey’s multiple comparisons test was used to compare all groups. Comparison of saline and sLN to non-punctured discs, *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, N.S., not significant; n = 3–7. NP, nucleus pulposus; AF, annulus fibrosus; sLN, short link N
