Figure 1From: High glucose concentration up-regulates the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and -13 in tendon cells MTT assay for the effect of glucose on tendon cells. A high glucose concentration did not affect the proliferation of tendon cells (p > 0.05 by Kruskal-Wallis test, n = 3; X-axis, glucose concentration; Y-axis, percentage of optic density (OD) value).Back to article page
