From: Swimming prevents cell death of chondrocytes via PI3K/AKT pathway in an experimental model
Effect of swimming on inhibiting apoptosis of chondrocyte. A–D: protein expression of Bax, cleaved-caspase3, cleaved-caspase9 and Bcl-2in the cartilage of OA model; E: apoptosis rate of each group observed by TUNEL staining. The data in the figures represent mean values ± SD, #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 compared with the Blank group, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with the ACLT group
