Primary human chondrocytes were incubated in the presence or absence of rhIL-1b (1ng/ml) in combination with either human naive serum (H-NAIVE) or human serum enriched with metabolites derived from FCH ingestion (H-FCH). Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) (A), Collagen II (B), Aggrecan (C) and MMP-13 (D) levels. Measures were performed in quadruplicates per condition/volunteer (n = 10 volunteers). Values are presented as mean ± SEM. The differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05 with * for p < 0.05; ** for p < 0.01; *** for p < 0.001; **** for p < 0.0001 and ns for p > 0.05
