From: Osmolarity influences chondrocyte repair after injury in human articular cartilage
Effect of different osmolarity irrigation solutions on proteoglycan elution. In the human articular cartilage mechanical injury model (a) saline in different osmolarities; (b) balanced salt in different osmolarities; and (c) comparison of proteoglycan elution between the saline and balanced salt. (n = 6 for each osmolarity and solution; ANOVA tests for saline: P = 0.002; balanced salt: P = 0.001; t test of saline vs balanced salt: P = 0.045).
