Fig. 5From: Glycation marker glucosepane increases with the progression of osteoarthritis and correlates with morphological and functional changes of cartilage in vivoConcentrations of glycation, oxidation, and nitration free adducts in multilayer culture supernatant. Analyte concentrations in the culture medium, normalized to cell DNA content. Key: dashed lines = control; solid lines = + IL-1β. Free adduct: a FL. b CML. c CEL. d G-H1. e MG-H1. f CMA. g GSP. h AASA. i GSA. j DT. k NFK. l 3-NT. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 4). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001. Through longitudinal statistical study, we found that all biomarkers increased significantly over time (p < 0.0001). Comparison of the time-course curves showed that levels of G-H1, CEL, and 3-NT were increased with IL-1β treatment compared with control (p = 0.0023, p = 0.0071, and p < 0.0001, respectively)Back to article page
