Figure 3From: Effect of nitric oxide on mitochondrial activity of human synovial cells ATP production of synoviocytes stimulated with sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Synoviocytes were cultured in basal conditions (only RPMI) or treated with SNP at 0.5 mM for 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours and collected for whole cell ATP measurement as described in the Methods section. ATP values are expressed as the mean ± standard error of eight different experiments performed in duplicate (*p < 0.05).Back to article page
