From: Osmolarity influences chondrocyte repair after injury in human articular cartilage

Figure 4

Effect of different osmolarities of saline on chondrocytes apoptosis and representative sections from TUNEL assay. In the human articular cartilage mechanical injury model, sepia stands for apoptotic cells (a) positive control; (b) negative control; (c) 180 mOsm/L; (d) 280 mOsm/L; (e) 380 mOsm/L; (f) 580 mOsm/L; and (g) the percentage of apoptotic cells (n = 6 for each osmolarity, ANOVA test, P = 0.158).
