Fig. 6From: The disease-modifying effect of dehydroepiandrosterone in different stages of experimentally induced osteoarthritis: a histomorphometric studyHistologic scores of the articular surfaces of the femoral condyles and tibial plateaus 9 weeks after operation. The scores for the histologic parameters with between-group comparisons are presented. Values represent the mean and SD. Histologic analysis revealed that the total Mankin score of DHEA-treated groups was significantly reduced compared with that of placebo-treated groups in both compartments of the knee. *P < 0.05 for the DHEA-treated group compared with the placebo-treated group. **P < 0.01 for the DHEA-treated group compared with the placebo-treated groupBack to article page
