Effect of compression on ECM degrading enzyme release.
Degrading enzyme levels in culture supernatants of uncompressed (left) and compressed (right) human OA cartilage explant cultures. Protein levels were determined by ELISA tests. Bars indicate medians, boxes 25% to 75% percentiles, whiskers Min to Max values.
