From: Osmolarity influences chondrocyte repair after injury in human articular cartilage
Effect of different osmolarity irrigation solutions on expression of HIF-1α mRNA. In the human articular chondrocytes with real-time PCR (a) saline in different osmolarities; (b) balanced salt in different osmolarities; and (c) comparison of HIF-1α mRNA between saline and balanced salt (ANOVA tests for saline: P = 0.001; balanced salt: P = 0.001; t test for saline vs balanced salt: P = 0.017, n = 3 for each osmolarity and solution; repeat for three times, the figure shows only one representative).
