Fig. 4From: The tenocyte phenotype of human primary tendon cells in vitro is reduced by glucocorticoidsResults of Dex (100 nM) exposure on the expression of collagens. mRNA of collagen subtypes Col 1, Col 3 and Col 14 is significantly down-regulated after 24 h of Dex exposure (a) . COL 1 protein is decreased after 24 h and 48 h of Dex exposure (b). * p < 0.05; *** p < 0.001Back to article page
